LINGERIE: LOST REMIXES + BONUS TRACKS
LINER NOTE by JON HUNT
(L'etoile Magazine)
"Wanna talk about roads not taken? An '80s-obsessed, New-York-Underground-loving, sex-kitten songwriter was at large in Minneapolis for much of the '00s and somehow didn't become enormously famous. Lolly Pop's too-brief reign of Minneapolis electronic music ended as much music from our storied northern town ends: with a pile of killer records and zero Super Bowl performances. Yup, I'm saying it: Lolly Pop was the first and smartest of the batch of '80s synthcore revivalists who swept popular music in the 00s, and one can certainly argue that with the Sheila E. tribute "#GLMRZLIFE" or "Elevator Operator". Now you can travel those roads in all of their bright, shiny, synthpop glory!"

DEDICATION:
This record is dedicated not just to '80's synthpop fans but also to ZE Records' Cristina, who deserves recognition for the impact that she had on female-fronted pop music of the era. Cristina's influence has been most popularly felt through her NYC contemporaries-to-come: Madonna, Grace Jones and Cyndi Lauper. While each of these amazing female artists went on to inspire generations, Cristina did it first.

IN MEMORY OF:
Cristina, Prince and Denise Matthews (Vanity).

SPECIAL THANKS:
John Matthews + family; the Moir clan; Cristina; Kendrick Smetana; Matt and Andra Fink; Matthew Chojnacki; Paul & Kathy Williams; Joshua Pinson; Jon Hunt; Chris Strouth; Joe Kelley + Ginette Dussault.

WITH GRATITUDE & AFFECTION TO:
Arthur Kirkby, for being the real-life inspiration behind Uncle Roger/Fairy Godfather.
