Transcendental Medication is the debut solo album by American musician Inger Lorre, formerly of The Nymphs. The album includes a duet with Jeff Buckley as well as the song "Yard of Blonde Girls" which Buckley covered on his 1998 posthumous album Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk. It also includes "She's Not Your Friend", a shot at Courtney Love, with whom Inger had had a spat played out across Hole's Pretty on the Inside album and a Vanity Fair article.
