Despite only releasing one full studio album in 1995, as well as a handful of EPs and other releases, Washington D.C. indie band Air Miami made a big impact on the sound and scene of the time. Formed by guitarist Mark Robinson and bassist Bridget Cross after the break-up of their cult D.C. outfit Unrest, Air Miami's hyperactive jangle will resonate with fans of both the UK's Sarah Records indie era and the wide-eyed optimism of the mid-90s in the U.S. of A. Thank the saccharine sweet gods of pop'n'roll, Me Me Me is finally getting the deluxe reissue treatment it deserves, complete with extra tracks not included on the original LP. I Hate Milk, but we love this! - Flying Out

 

Made up of UNREST’s Mark Robinson and Bridget Cross, Air Miami formed shortly after the D.C. indie rock mainstay’s demise in 1995, and together with drummer Gabriel Stout and producer Guy Fixsen (The Breeders, My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab), they travelled to their namesake land of Miami to record the entirety of Me. Me. Me. over the month of May at the famed Criteria Studios; a place where James Brown, Aretha Franklin, the Bee Gees, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC and countless more have recorded classic works. The album was then mixed at a studio in London where labelmates Lush were recording their 1996 LP Lovelife at the same time.

Nearly thirty years on, this deluxe reissue sees the 1995 album expanded to include all sixteen tracks from the album sessions, three of which are new to the tracklist: Warm Miami May (not on original LP), Pucker (previously unreleased), and the full version of See-Through Plastic (edited version only previously seen on the Fuck You, Tiger EP). The record also features singles I Hate Milk and Seabird a track that found new life recently when covered by current 4AD artist Maria Somerville, her first release for the label and part of the label’s 40th anniversary compilation Bills & Aches & Blues.

Remastered from the original analogue tapes by Pete Weiss (whose recent remastering work includes Luna, Type O Negative, Morphine and Belly), Me. Me. Me. (Deluxe Edition) sees the album now spread over two LPs and cut at 45rpm. Pressed on Floridian-inspired aqua and orange vinyl its stunning artwork is housed in a gatefold sleeve with Hideaki Kodama’s ‘Girl B 1988’ painting still adorning the cover.
