"This and That" was one of three singles pulled from March, the 1989 debut album from Michael Penn, and it climbed the Modern Rock Tracks chart as far as 10. Penn wrote it on his own and sings lead and plays guitar on it. Tony Berg produced it and added guitar of his own, Susan Rogers engineered, John Pierce plays bass, Patrick Warren keyboards, and Gary Ferguson gets a credit, gloriously specific, for hi-hat.
The album it came from drew a rave from the New York Times, which heard the Beatles' psychedelic period all over its lush textures, mystical air and cryptic lyrics.
