What’s Up Matador is a 2-CD (or 2-LP) compilation that was released by Matador Records that chronicles some of the best artists within their roster during the 90s. The first disc serves as a bit of a “best of” collection, featuring indie standouts by Yo La Tango, Pizzicato Five, Cat Power, Helium, and of course, Liz Phair. The second disc is what is particularly noteworthy, as it features previously unreleased material from many of the same artists. This marks the official debut of Liz’s “Stuck On An Island,” a b-side that fans would later discover was in the initial running for whitechocolatespaceegg.

Taking their cue from the highly active female-fronted alternative rock movement of the '90s, Dolly makes music that lands somewhere between the lush simplicity of Veruca Salt and the poignant songwriting of Bettie Serveert. They have definitely learned their lesson from the masters and utilize the sense of dynamics and use of fuzzy production techniques that have helped many like-minded artists put across their message. But for what Dolly offers in sheer visceral pleasantries, they still have a bit of a problem in the songwriting department. Their songs are quite enjoyable, but they don't really stand out from one another.

The same mix of rock, blues and dance can be found on the new album Prehistoric Rhythm. Compared to the two previous albums My Baby, the dance universe even further explored, especially to the trip-hop. Not that there is pure trip-hop is on this album, but some songs do breathe this atmosphere of Massive Attack and Portishead. It makes the music of My Baby a little harder to define, but the main ingredients remain blues, rock and dance. With a Dutch band they are difficult to compare, but there are vaguely in common with the Belgian SX, Bettie Serveert, Yazoo, Siouxie and Alabama Shakes.

As great as the latest wave of '90s nostalgia, especially by young female artists, is, a lot of it tends toward the lo-fi bedroom vibe. Horsegirl, however, has surprising muscle, heft and depth. Which is even more incredible when you realize the members are so young that one of them is only just graduating from high school not long after their debut album arrives. The Chicago trio—formed out of School of Rock classes—knows their stuff: They reportedly cite My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth (including Kim Gordon's memoir, Girl in a Band) and the documentary 1991: The Year Punk Broke as influences that brought them together, and they chose to work with legendary indie-rock producer John Agnello, known for his work with Dinosaur Jr., The Breeders and Kurt Vile. But all that name-dropping would mean nothing if they didn't have the chops to back it up.
