Selfafornia is the second compilation album by American alternative rock band Self, released for free via Spongebath Records as an internet download on July 27, 2001.
During the creation of Self's third and fourth albums, Breakfast with Girls (1999) and Gizmodgery (2000), lead member Matt Mahaffey wrote the song "Suzie Q Sailaway".
[2] Mahaffey subsequently re-recorded the song with a full band, stating that he didn't want any toy recordings outside of Gizmodgery.
[3] This process delayed the release of Breakfast with Girls, which, combined with the song's shift in style, led to a retroactive dissatisfaction with it.
Laurent of Indiepoprock complimented the compilation's sound, describing it as encapsulating the band's bright and quirky instrumentation amidst a low budget.
