IM(NS)HO, Tsunami and Ms. Toomey could have used a genius like Warren while
recording "The Heart's Tremelo". Yawn! And to think that the title conjures
misleading impressions of both Cocteaus (Tinderbox of a...) and MBV
("Tremolo" ep). I liked "Deep End", but that last record was just a good way
to ensure a full night's sleep. Anyone agree?
Attn, Jenny. When a band is praised for its spry, sarcastic,
playfully-aggressive indie pop/rock, it should not follow up with an album
of leaden, overly ironic, lethargic, moping whatthehellisthis/rock...

I know I will burn in hell with indie record store employees sticking hot
needles under my fingernails, but I bought this at Best Buys this
weekend, so there's a closer source than mail-order.

P.S. Is *KJ* famous? The last informational posting by 4AD (just
received) referred to a KJ in Iowa having an "unhealthy obsession". I'm
afraid i'm guilty of the same

Well, I recommend it to most people I talk to, and there's been a bit of
talk about them here. Did you get _7=49_ or the self-titled one? I like
both.

I vote for knee-jerk reactions, which is what this is. So long.

It's the self titled TMST (had to do it)...
The 1st listen was a little hard (she doesn't hit her notes clearly, or
directly on), after that the album just keeps getting *better*. Her voice
sort of reminds me of Everything but the Girl's lead singer; a little
like it belongs in a darkly lit, smoke filled, jazz club (raspy, cool man).
They *did* have two copies, if anyone's interested....

Au contraire, mon frere. Apart from the first track (which is awful) I like
"...Tremolo" better than "Deep End". Maybe this is because my favorite track
from "Deep End" was "Genius Of Crack"; i.e. I _like_ the brooding and
discordant side of Tsunami _better_ than the predictable-US-indie-rock side.
I mean, there are hundreds of 7"s you can pick up at your better record
stores that sound just like "In A Name", but gems like "Fast Food Medicine"
or "Cowed By the Bla Bla" just come out of nowhere and whack you like a cast
iron frying pan. I like Jenny's jazz-singer voice, the total unexpectedness
of the chord changes, and the way the songs shift around in midstream.
Reminds me of Good Ole Classic Throwing Muses in a way... or maybe P J
Harvey... Anyhow, the album's at #5 or so on my forthcoming top ten list.

All this talk about the new 4AD signing has got me very curious. Has Slack
released anything or played out yet, affording a chance for any other
4AD-Lers to hear them? And did I read correctly that the line up is Jenny
Toomey, Warren Defever, and Trey Many? Very interesting...
As for the debate over which of Tsunami's two albums is the better one, I've
never heard "The Heart's Tremolo". "Deep End" bored me so thoroughly, that
when I heard that the newer one wasn't as good (that was the general
consensus of the reviews I read), I ran away. But I must say "Slugger" is a
hell of a song, and easily their shining moment (IMHO, of course).

i think slack have been around for a li'l while, but i'm not sure. also,
i am not certain that warren & trey are in on this. i know that they
have worked with jenny & some other guy, though. this *may* be what will
come out on 4AD as Slack. but prior to going 4AD, the two hnia-ers were
not involved. jenny toomey is sort of a boring musician, though i have
mucho respect for her & simple machines. but i only like her songs in
small doses, which is why i love grenadine so. mark's jangle does a lot
for her, and she doesn't sing all the songs. however, if she lets warren
fiddle with her voice, things would be a lot better...

I was just in Japan, looking for 12" singles Japan compilation, but lack
of language made it difficult. Is it still available? Would someone in
Japan be able to pick it up for me. I'd be happy to swap for large
quantities of stuff.
Thanks.
This goes for anyone in the US who has a copy.
Alternatively, do CDconnection or those type carry it?
