Black Tambourine

Add Date: March 16

Artist: Black Tambourine

Album: Black Tambourine

Label: Slumberland

Genre: Pop, Garage

Comments: From the promoter:

"On first listen, you might mistake Black Tambourine as some hot new act burning up the Brooklyn rock scene-- but the truth is the group's resplendent feedback and sweet buried female vocals all predate the present day parade of lo-fi garage acts. ... Influenced by shoegazers My Bloody Valentine as much as the Velvet Underground albums fo the 1960's, Black Tambourine sound as fresh and vibrant as any present day acts. Fans of recent Slumberland groups like Crystal Stilts will undoubtedly worship this."

Fans of Electrelane and Vivian Girls should check out Black Tambourine. Check out "Throw Aggi Off the Bridge" or "For Ex-Lovers Only."


[BONUS: Part of this reissue of late '80s/early '90s BT work was record in MD Michael Morella's hometown of Rockville, Maryland. This makes BT the best band out of the Rockville area since Good Charlotte and O.A.R. Finally, some redemption.]
