"Here and Now" comes off Letters to Cleo's 1993 album Aurora Gory Alice, a sugar rush with scuffed knees and a songwriting credit shared by the whole band. Kay Hanley sings it bright and knowing, riding on top while Michael Eisenstein and Greg McKenna tangle their guitars into a jangling buzz, and Scott Riebling's bass and Stacy Jones's drums keep the whole thing bouncing.

Mary Beth Ramshy adds backing vocals, and Mike Denneen's production keeps it lean, loud and hooky without sanding off the fuzz. Rock stations never quite let it go: it was still turning up on their countdowns in 2023, three decades after it first came out.
