The sweater has that slightly goat-like smell which all teenage boys possess

Thursday music corner: Meryn Cadell was born in New York and grew up in Canada. After signing to Intrepid Records Cadell released the album Angel Food For Thought in 1991, from which the wry, witty single The Sweater became a surprise hit in Canada and on US college radio. The sample-based song tells the comedic tale of a teenage girl’s fixation on a male classmate’s garment. Meryn transitioned from female to male in 2003 and has taught in the creative writing programme at the University of British Columbia.
