 Black Tambourine - Black Tambourine (2010) 320

Washington DC outfit formed in 1989 by members of Whorl and Velocity Girl, creating a sound that was part shoegazer, part psych-rock and part C-86. Pam Berry's youthful vocals sound surreal against a ghostly wall of guitar distortion, and some tight drums lay a strong foundation for the chaos consuming the mix. This is noise-pop and fuzzy lo-fi to the core, with a healthy nod to The Jesus and Mary Chain as primary influence. On Slumberland records.
