Also, in this month’s issue of Mojo magazine (Oasis on the cover), there is an article about the album and some quotes from Jon.

The Posies are PopBang’s Artist of the Month

and “Conversations” is the single of the week.

Very rarely do we have the Artist of the Month and the Single of the Week from the same artist, but a new full length Posies album doesn’t come around that often. “Conversations” has everything that Posies fans have loved over the years. Beautiful melody, stunning hooks, signature harmonies, and overflowing emotion, sounding as if it were starting side 2 of the now classic “Dear 23”.

If there was a Power Pop Hall of Fame, The Posies would be a shoe in for an inaugural induction. A very welcome return.

The 7-CD set called Whatever: The 90s Pop Culture Box will be released by Rhino Records on July 26th. “Dream All Day” is on the 4th cd. For the full tracklisting and more information, see this Rolling Stone article.
