Limited edition milky colour vinyl.

Phair's songs tend to be deeply personal and the songs in Soberish are obviously about her life right now as a single mother in her early fifties. It is very easy to dismiss this album as soft rock and adult contemporary but this is one of her more assured collections yet.

Brad Wood brings a polished experimentalism to her songs, making her sound a bit like a modern day Judee Sill and the production adds sonic textures that are almost psychedelic. Still, the main pull here is her personality. Her conflicted feelings, her romantic maturity, her emotional relentlessness, they are all in full display in these songs and her voice is able to showcase them in varied, pleasant ways.
