Bill is the first full-length album by Tripping Daisy.[4][5] It was released in 1992 on the Dragon Street label, and then re-released in 1993 on Island Records.[6][3] On the re-release, the track "Green Tambourine" was removed, and the two unlisted tracks were appended to the final track.

The album had sold around 15,000 copies before it was picked up by Island. "My Umbrella" spent two weeks on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, peaking at No. 24.[7]

Critical reception[]

Trouser Press wrote that "singer/lyricist Tim DeLaughter’s acrobatic vocals and guitarist Wes Berggren’s propulsive strumming lend Bill enough variety to keep it from sinking into blandlivion-but just barely."[1]
