"Sweet Lover Hangover" came off Sweet F.A., the album Love and Rockets released in 1996, with Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins producing themselves alongside Sylvia Massy, who engineered it too. All three share the music credit and Ash wrote the words, and the division of labor is all over the track: Ash on guitar, David J on bass and piano, both of them on organ and vocals, Haskins on drums with backing vocals and a few other instruments thrown in.
The sound is a hazy, narcotic crawl of fuzz and organ drone, the kind of bleary morning-after glam that fits the title like a stained velvet jacket.
