Is the World's Best Ex-Boyfriend
Editorial Reviews
Rochester City Weekly, March 23, 2005
You hope the album's as cool as it looks, it's even better. Frank certainly isn't short on wit or bite.
Product Description
Once Ad Frank read the words, he knew he had the basis for a song, if not an entire new album. "For whatever reason -- exhibitionism or whatever -- my ex-girlfriend gave me permission to read her diary," explains Ad. "As soon as I saw that she had written in there that I was the Worlds Best Ex-Boyfriend the song pretty much took care of itself." But given Ads penchant for over-thinking tangled romance, the story doesnt end there. "The bit about driving around and hearing a great song on the radio but losing the stations signal before the DJ has announced it parallels the relationship. Even if Im never able to hear the song again, Im still better for having heard it," says Ad, "My life was better for having known some people even if we cant be friends now." The track is pure, manic heartbreak and the perfect title for a new Ad Frank album.
Ad Frank is the Worlds Best Ex-Boyfriend, the follow-up to 2003s In Girl Trouble, finds Ad back with his band The Fast Easy Women for a tight trip through songs that evoke both asleep-at-the-bar loneliness and cutting wit. Featuring former and current members of Tracy Bonham, Francine, and Garvy J., the bands glam/new-wave/cabaret epoxy expertly binds together all of Ads varying loves and influences, resulting in a punchy, moving, and occasionally danceable album.
