"Car Button Cloth" was alternative rock band The Lemonheads' last album before the band's 8-year breakup from 1997 to 2005. The album, originally released in 1996, was also the band's last studio album until the 2006 release of "The Lemonheads".

Despite not being as successful as the previous two albums and receiving lukewarm reviews, it has gained a minor cult following in recent times. The songs "It's All True", "If I Could Talk, I'd Tell You", and "The Outdoor Type" were released as singles in the UK.

"If I Could Talk I'd Tell You" was co-written by Vaselines leader Eugene Kelly.

"Car Button Cloth" was also mentioned in the critically acclaimed 1995 novel "High Fidelity" by Dick, as "Have you heard the new Lemonheads album?" In the novel, it was also noted Dick walked into work one day wearing a Lemonheads shirt.
