York Blvd. is an album by the American band Acetone, released on January 16, 2001.[2][3] The band supported the album with a North American tour.[4] It was Acetone's final studio album, as bassist and vocalist Richie Lee died in July 2001.[5]
The album was produced by Eric Sarafin and the band.[6] Vapor Records urged the band to use a producer who could help them find a tauter, more commercial sound.[7] Lee employed pitch correction on some of his vocals.[7] Acetone's guitarist, Mark Lightcap, primarily played a Yamaha SG 2000 from the 1970s; he also played trumpet on parts of the album.[8][9] Acetone used a Hammond organ on a few tracks.[10] The album title refers to York Boulevard, a street in Highland Park, Los Angeles.[11] "Wonderful World" is about indie rock music scene mindsets.[12]
