About this album
Key Lime Pie is Camper Van Beethoven’s sharpest and most accessible album, bringing the band’s genre-hopping instincts into a leaner, more melodic form. Released in 1989, it blends alternative rock, country and psychedelic touches into songs that are wry, tuneful and unexpectedly warm, with highlights such as All Her Favorite Fruit and Pictures of Matchstick Men showing their gift for turning eccentric ideas into memorable hooks. The record is widely regarded as a late high point in the group’s original run, balancing college-rock humour with genuine emotional bite and helping define the more open-minded side of late-1980s American indie rock.
