Compiling the entirety of Black Tambourine's fleeting studio output from the early 1990s, this collection is an essential document of the American indie-pop underground. The short-lived Maryland outfit brilliantly contrasted Phil Spector-esque girl-group melodies with abrasive, feedback-drenched guitar distortion. Though largely ignored upon their initial release, these recordings retrospectively positioned the band as crucial architects bridging the gap between C86 twee and American shoegaze.
