Lifter Puller is the debut album by the Minneapolis band of the same name. It was released on April 18, 1997 by Skene, and came out a month later in Italy. The album introduced a number of characters and themes central to later Lifter Puller releases, despite being characterized by a markedly inchoate version of their later sound. According to the Village Voice, it was, in fact "the one time they ever sounded like a generic indie-rock band" .
