Liner Notes
P.H.U.Q. is the second album on which THE WILDHEARTS threw together noisy guitar, punk speed and surprisingly sweet melody all at once. The songs pack many ideas into a short time yet never lose momentum. Reaching the UK Top 10, it is also a record from the period when the band’s popularity peaked.
On “I Wanna Go Where the People Go,” “Just in Lust,” “Caprice” and “Getting It,” Ginger’s songwriting houses irony and elation together. Songs like “V-Day” and “Baby Strange” breathe the band’s explosive energy too. The band’s playing always runs on the verge of exploding, yet at its base is a sharp melodic sense. Turning chaos into pop pleasure, it is one of their signature works, radiating a distinct personality even within 1990s British rock.
