Like Flies on Sherbert
by Alex Chilton
The 1222nd greatest album of all time
Like Flies on Sherbert is a loose, deliberately ragged solo album by Alex Chilton that blends garage rock grit with warped pop sensibilities. Recorded with a raw, lo-fi aesthetic and a mix of worn covers and fragmented originals, the record emphasizes abrasive textures, abrupt arrangements, and a mood of unsettling humor that marked Chilton's departure from polished pop into a more deconstructed, unpredictable sound.
