The Greatest Music
Elastica
by Elastica
The 434th greatest album of all time
Elastica is the 1995 self-titled debut by the British band Elastica. It blends Britpop and indie rock with terse, hook-driven songs built around sharp, staccato guitar lines and a punk-influenced energy, while new wave and post-punk textures inform its spare arrangements. Fronted by Justine Frischmann's cool, direct vocals, the album is notable for its concise songcraft and immediate sound that became a touchstone of mid 1990s British alternative rock.
