"Flame" came out as a single in 1999 from The Sebadoh, and it's Lou Barlow in full bloom: a song he wrote alone, with a melody that aches and a chorus that doesn't hide. Eric Masunaga produced and recorded it, mixing it with the band, while Rich Costey added extra mix work, and the result sounds warm and full without sanding off its bruised heart. It reached number 30 on the UK Singles chart, the highest any Sebadoh single has ever gone.
