Ain't My Lookout


Ain't My Lookout is the fourth full-length album by Memphis indie rock band The Grifters, and their first for Sub Pop Records. While Sub Pop released the Compact Disc, the Grifters remained true to their old home, Shangri-La Records, which was able to receive the licensing for the vinyl release. The vinyl LP release is now out of print.

Critical reception

The album received generally favorable reviews. The album was given a 6/10 by Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic, describing it as their 'tightest and cleanest' record to date. While stating that despite the higher production value, the band still stay committed to their lo-fi sound and refrain from selling out. Christgau also describes the effort as 'Southern-fried hipsters uproot some pavement.' The album received a 2-star honorable mention, describing it as a 'likable effort consumers attuned to its overriding aesthetic or individual vision may well enjoy.'
