“…what Reatard does best: erecting epics in spaces most would deem too tight for them.” – Pitchfork

Matador Singles ’08 is a collection of all the songs from the six limited-edition Jay Reatard 7″s from the Matador singles series which took place throughout 2008 (with the exception of “Fluorescent Grey” the Deerhunter cover on #4), plus “I’m Watching You” which would later appear on 2009’s Watch Me Fall.

Every song from the late Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr. is a perfect snarling pop-punk gem, but this collection evolves interestingly (and erratically) from punk to pop.
