Beverley Atonale is the second album by the Brooklyn indie pop band The Ladybug Transistor.[4] It was released on February 11, 1997.

Critical reception

[edit]

The Chicago Reader wrote that "the young quartet's reach [exceeded] their grasp: aiming for the orchestral splendor of 60s pop, they got a handful of flat, rinky-dink indie rock played on too many instruments."[5] CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that "there's something really delightful about the idea that four people can create their own little Pet Sounds."[6]
