Lisa Germano | Geek The Girl (30th Anniversary Edition) (Clear Vinyl)
Lisa Germano | Geek The Girl (30th Anniversary Edition) (Clear Vinyl). RSD 2025.
Lisa Germano’s landmark 1994 album, Geek The Girl, is a prescient yet unsettling listen. A record that explores themes of stalking, sexual harassment, anxiety and the female experience, word of mouth has only grown since its release and despite now widely being seen as a classic of its time, it’s somehow evaded a vinyl pressing, much to the chagrin of fans.
So, in great news, 4AD are finally righting this on Record Store Day 2025 with a special double vinyl pressing to celebrate the album’s 30th Anniversary. A record that is as vital a statement today as when first released, Lisa is unflinching and unbowed throughout Geek The Girl, giving a platform to the silenced, or as she says, “people who are stuck but want to go somewhere else.” Writing with a raw, emotional honesty - sometimes from a kowtowing perspective - she holds little back. An incredible body of work, the atmosphere is heightened by a jaunting violin sound and her use of (with permission and after much deliberation) of a real 911 call in which a woman confronts an intruder in her own home. Her recurring use of Sicilian folk tune “Frascilita” as an interlude jars too, even though she intended for it to give the album some needed “comic relief." Ranked in SPIN Magazine’s Top 100 albums of the 90s, Geek The Girl is unlike most music of the period and a testament to both Lisa’s artistry and courage.
Working with Abbey Road Studios in London, the album has been remastered for its 30th anniversary and has had both Cry Wolf b-side “The Mirror Is Gone” and 5 track pre-cursor EP, Inconsiderate Bitch, added to deliver the complete package.
Pressed on double, crystal clear vinyl while designer Chris Bigg (v23) has returned to the porcelain doll cover shoot by Dominic Davies to deliver a stunning new design that complements the original album art.
