Fountains of Wayne is the first album by the American band Fountains of Wayne of the same name . It was released in 1996 on Tag / Atlantic Records. The songs were written over the years and recorded in three days.
The lyrics are mostly funny, but occasionally you come across serious pieces like Sick Day , which is about the routine in everyday life of a young woman.
Videos were shot for the first two singles , Radiation Vibe and Sink to the Bottom , which could be seen on American (and sometimes even German) music television , but the desired marketing effect did not materialize and only 125,000 copies of the album were sold in the USA .
The title Karpet King , which is included only on the Japanese version of the album, can be found on the single Radiation Vibe and the 2005 released B-side collection out-of-state plates . He is also part of the 1997 sampler Too Much Scratchie Makes You Itch .
