Jellyfish - Spilt Milk (1993/2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

When Jellyfish released their second album, Spilt Milk, in February 1993, critics didn’t know what comparison to make of the band. The band had released their first album, Bellybutton, to rave reviews and even had a Top 40 hit with the catchy “Baby’s Coming Back,” which wasn’t even one of the better tracks. The melodies flowed, and the harmonies shook you down to your core.

The duo was celebrated for their defiance in the grunge era, crafting deliriously sunny pop jams. In a Newsweek feature highlighting the Best Summer Albums from 1985-1997, Zach Schonfeld wrote a blurb on Spilt Milk, saying, “God bless Jellyfish for releasing this lost power-pop masterwork at the height of the grunge explosion. With angst on the airwaves, Andy Sturmer and Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (with help from soon-to-be-star-producer Jon Brion) crafted 12 unfashionably sunny and remarkably well-built pop gems.

“It’s the colorfulness of it all that makes it such a great summer record; nods to peak Queen, 80s metal, and The Beatles at their sugariest abound, but Spilt Milk couldn’t have been made by anyone but Jellyfish. Shame they didn’t copyright the title ‘Bye Bye Bye’ before NSYNC nabbed it.”

The history of Spilt Milk is legendary in Jellyfish circles. When they began writing in 1992, Brian Wilson paid them a visit to the studio, having been impressed by their debut Bellybutton. The duo showed off their electric harpsichords and clavinet, which left Wilson unimpressed. He wanted to see something new. This sparked an idea in the duo.
