Lemonheads 'Hospital (Live)' (1997) (mp3 download)

'Hospital' is from the Lemonheads' 1996 album 'Car Button Cloth' which was the start the downslide which saw him/them disappear for years.

The trademark melodic indie pop is still there but there's a slightly darker edge to many of the songs.

'Hospital' is a perfect illustration of this. The album version opens with atonal piano tinkling before breaking into catchy indie rock/pop but with lyrics suggesting time spent in rehab. This live version from 1997 is more straightforward but still has an edginess to it.
