Shooting Rubberbands At The Stars

Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars is the debut studio album by American alternative rock band Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, released on August 9, 1988, by Geffen Records. The album went double platinum in the United States. "What I Am" was the lead single and hit from the album, reaching No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. The follow-up single, "Circle", was about strained relationships. Although described by author Brent Mann as "the perfect follow up single to 'What I Am'" and which "had 'smash' written all over it", it stalled at No. 48 on the Billboard Hot 100 and fared slightly better on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, reaching No. 32. Cash Box said of "Circle" that "The key to this gentle song is Brickell’s breathy intensity. Supported by an acoustic-slanted track, she manages to sell the unusually dark lyric shadings." Another song from the album, "Little Miss S." was inspired by Edie Sedgwick and reached No. 38 on the Mainstream Rock chart and No. 14 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.
