New 90s Podcast
Jellyfish - Spilt Milk
Jellyfish followed up their instant classic jangle and power-pop debut Bellybutton with the ambitious final curtain of 1993's Spilt Milk
For such a short career, Jellyfish managed to pack decades’ worth of musical ambition and melodic know-how into just two studio albums. The comparisons are nothing new - The Beatles, Queen, The Beach Boys, Badfinger, Wings - but while plenty of 90s rock bands have been tagged with the "power-pop" label over the years, Jellyfish occupy a unique space of both defining and transcending the label. On 1993's Spilt Milk, for as much Raspberries and Cheap Trick influence a listener can spot, the band is clearly going for a bigger, more grandiose sound that draws inspiration from the stage and screen.
