Undressed (Pansy Division album)

Undressed is the debut album by American queercore band Pansy Division, released in 1993 on Lookout! Records.

Singer-songwriter Jon Ginoli had previously released Undressed independently on cassette tape in 1991, featuring a different line-up with bassist Chris Bowe which was recorded in Champaign, Illinois. Nine of the tracks from these sessions were included on the Lookout! release of the album.

Critical reception

Undressed received positive reviews from the independent music press. Trouser Press noted that "the horny band's genially explicit lyrics ... cut right to the chase." In a brief capsule review, AllMusic wrote that "these sex punks tunefully and loudly wag their penises and preferences about" and praised the "Byrds-influenced" "Boyfriend Wanted".
