Released in 1997, The Dandy Warhols Come Down is the second studio album from the Portland-based band and the record that cemented their place in the late-90s alternative landscape. Expanding on the psych-rock swagger of their debut, the album blends shoegaze haze, Britpop attitude, and West Coast slacker cool into a sound that feels both detached and melodic. It’s a record defined as much by atmosphere as hooks, capturing a moment where irony and sincerity comfortably coexisted.
The album features ‘Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth’, the band’s breakthrough single, alongside deeper cuts that reveal a knack for texture, repetition, and slow-burn payoff. Produced by Tony Lash, The Dandy Warhols Come Down balances gloss and grit, drifting between hypnotic grooves and pop immediacy. Over time, it has grown into a cult favourite — a snapshot of an era that still sounds unmistakably itself.
