"A beloved cult classic of late-'90s indie pop, Beverley Atonale captures The Ladybug Transistor at their most elegant and timeless. Blending baroque pop arrangements, warm analog textures, jangly guitars, and lush vocal harmonies, the album has become a cornerstone release for fans of sophisticated, melody-driven indie. Long sought after by collectors, this vinyl reissue brings back an essential title from the American indie underground -- a record whose cinematic songwriting and vintage pop sensibility continue to resonate decades after its original release. With enduring collector demand, strong catalogue value, and broad appeal among fans of Elephant 6-inspired indie pop, Beverley Atonale stands as an essential addition to any indie-focused catalogue and a timeless rediscovery for a new generation of listeners. Recommended for fans of The Essex Green, Belle and Sebastian, Broadcast, Stereolab, The Olivia Tremor Control."

"Originally released in 1999 on Merge Records, The Albemarle Sound, the third full-length LP by Brooklyn, New York's The Ladybug Transistor, exists just outside its fixed point in time and space. Perhaps the last great pop album of the 20th century, The Albemarle Sound is like few records from the turn of the millennium, its attention turned to the intricate arrangements of late 1960s pop and the strange and familiar environs of home. The notion of home is important to The Albemarle Sound, not just lyrically and thematically, but in the fact that the album was recorded, mixed and produced in a Victorian house in Flatbush named Marlborough Farms. The Ladybug Transistor was formed in 1995 as the home recording project of singer and trumpeter Gary Olson, and by 1999 the group had swelled to include siblings Jeff Baron (guitar) and Jennifer Baron (bass), Sasha Bell (keyboards and flute), San Fadyl (drums), and Julia Rydholm (violin), who lived together at Marlborough Farms, a home filled with instruments, recording equipment and a piano room where the group made demos. For the 25th anniversary of The Albemarle Sound, the record has been lovingly reissued on silver vinyl by Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records."
