Self-Inflicted Aerial Nostalgia is the third album by American indie rock band Guided by Voices. It is considered to be the first album in the group's discography to have their signature sound which was achieved by using low fidelity recording techniques.[2][3]
It is the only album to feature drummer Bruce Smith.
Background
After the group's previous releases failed commercially, the band's budget towards production began to shrink considerably. 500 original copies were pressed that were funded by the band, similar to previous releases.[4]
Recording
The album was recorded at Steve Wilbur's home using an 8-track recorder.[5]
