Tiger Trap - Tiger Trap Tiger Trap
Recorded by Calvin Johnson with cover art and lettering by Heather Lewis (Beat Happening), Tiger Trap [KLP017] was released on K in 1993. It’s been out of print for over 20 years, til right now.
Tiger Trap emerged as one of the most beloved indie-pop bands of the 1990s. The group was formed in Sacramento, CA in 1992 by singers/guitarists Rose Melberg (Softies, Go Sailor!), and Angela Loy, schoolmates who soon recruited bassist Jen Braun and drummer Heather Dunn to complete the lineup. Within weeks of their formation, Tiger Trap — so named in reference to a Calvin and Hobbes comic strip — issued their debut single "Words and Smiles," a split release with Bratmobile which appeared on the Four Letter. Words label. Jumping to K, the band issued the "Supercrush" [IPU036] single, followed in 1993 by their self-titled debut LP.
Perfect for an afternoon of lollygagging, this thing will sweep you off your feet and into its up-beat, fuzzy punk rock slash pop dreams. Born in Sacramento, raised in the pop-rock heyday and laid to rest much too soon. Sometimes the best things come in ones! Cult favourite for a reason.
