The Vaselines' 2010 album "Sex with an X" arrived a decade after their initial breakup and served as a surprising, if somewhat reedy, return to recording. Their signature melodicism and scratchy-guitar attack are present, albeit filtered through a more mature, less immediate lens.
- "Sex with an X" was the band's first new studio album in 20 years, following 1988's "Dum-Dum".
- The album was produced by Ian McNeil and engineered by Phil Williams at Chem 19 Studios in Hamilton, Scotland.
- Upon release, the album received generally positive reviews, with critics noting the band's continued ability to craft catchy, albeit lo-fi, pop songs.
The Vaselines were a Scottish alternative rock band from Glasgow, active in the late 1980s and briefly reunited in the 2000s. They are known for their influential indie pop sound and a history of acclaimed but commercially modest releases.
