Tiger Trap 'Tiger Trap' (1993)

Although they were around for only a year, these Sacramento teenagers quickly became one of the benchmarks of the still-budding American twee underground. Lead by the precociously talented and magnificently voiced Rose Melberg (who'd later go on to author wonderfully sappy rainy-day lovesongs in The Softies), Tiger Trap were the first of the next-generation of twee bands: true genre acolytes who'd grown up listening to Beat Happening and Heavenly 45s, and picked up their instruments as a result. Their only album is a rollicking, knocked-out, knock-kneed pop racket; 12 tinny-sounding, in-the-red distorting, super-melodic songs showcasing Melberg's keen sense of pop chops. Long out-of-print, Tiger Trap is totally overdue for a reissue.
