The Size Of Food is an album by New Zealand band Jean-Paul Sartre Experience, released in 1989.[1] [2] It was released via Flying Nun Records.[3]
The album was rereleased by Fire Records as part of its I Like Rain: The Story of The Jean-Paul Sartre Experience box set.[4]
Trouser Press wrote that "while it has its share of Kiwi brilliance ... it also contains some distracting experiments that find the band flirting needlessly with art-rock and dance motifs."[5] The Guardian called the band "often-overlooked," praising "Inside and Out" from the "excellent" The Size of Food.[6] Blurt called "Elemental" the highlight, writing that "the whole album is very strong."[7]
