About
Due to personal circumstances, producer Tchad Blake turned down plans to produce <i>Irresistible Bliss</i>. Blake had been an important part of Soul Coughing’s debut album, 1994’s <i>Ruby Vroom</i>, and his unavailability led Soul Coughing’s leader M. Doughty to rethink his strategy and try for a more streamlined approach with pop producer David Kahne (The Bangles, Fishbone). Several tunes—“Super Bon Bon,” “Soft Serve," and “Soundtrack to Mary”—caught on at the college-radio level and somewhat beyond. More importantly, the album proved that the band wasn't a one-trick pony or too hip for the room. It was always apparent that Doughty could write lyrics and that his bandmates could play rings around the competition, but <i>Irresistible Bliss</i> showed that the band had heart to go with its versatility. Doughty’s vocals throughout the album—especially on the reflective “Lazybones” and the nasty stalking noir-funk-blues “Paint”—explain much of the band’s appeal.
