Since the album's release in 1993, Phair has been revered for her distinct aesthetic and musical sensibilities. She's been called "the female face of indie rock," a "slacker poet of the first degree," and a "brainy bad girl," but above all, she remains America's sardonic sweetheart. With Exile in Guyville, Phair crafted a track-by-track response to The Rolling Stones' Exile On Main St by reverse-engineering sexual objectification for the female gaze. She fused lo-fi production with a singer-songwriter sensibility, creating a sound that helped shape what would become "indie rock." Despite her sexually provocative lyrics, it was Phair's fearless singing, effortless hooks, and the specificity of her lyrics that connected with fans.
