LP – 2018 Reissue On Black Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Whip-Smart, Phairs September 1994 major-label debut, followed on the heels of her galvanizing, indie-released grrrl-power manifesto, June 1993s critically acclaimed Exile in Guyville. Whip-Smart, co-produced by Phair and Brad Wood (Pete Yorn, Sunny Day Real Estate), built on the patented Girly-Sound alter-ego promise of Exile with the hard-hitting and quite unapologetic lust in the groove of Supernova, the green-eyed percussive sneer of Jealousy, and the minimalist burble of the title track, which repeatedly namechecks the chorus of Malcolm McLarens joyous 1983 new-wave ode to jump-rope gymnastics, Double Dutch.
