R&B Transmogrification is the second studio album by the American indie band Quasi. [5] [6] It was released on March 25, 1997, on Up Records.
Record Collector wrote that the album is "clever from the get-go; between their heavily distorted rocksichord (a kind of electronic keyboard made to approximate the sound of a harpsichord) and lyricism that tells of the worst kind of heartbreak, there’s a sort of commercial viability without selling the soul of these songs." [4] Trouser Press thought that "the imaginative music includes everything commercial pop lacks: the pioneering spirit navigating a sinking ship, violations of civilized taste and neurotic condemnations." [7]
All tracks by Sam Coomes except "Bird's Eye View" by Janet Weiss and Coomes.
