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.

The Pastels 'Up for a Bit with the Pastels' (1987)

Perhaps the most iconic of all twee acts, Scottish institution The Pastels were formed by boyfriend/girlfriend Stephen McRobbie and Aggi Wright —known, via their records, as Stephen Pastel and Aggi— who'd both fleetingly been in early incarnations of the Shop Assistants. From their earliest singles, The Pastels knelt at the altar of willful amateurism, their raw, rudimentary, barely-together songs somehow capturing a kind of 'truth' in this lack-of-polish. Where mostC86-era bands bashed songs out at a furious rate, The Pastels were always unafraid of heart-on-sleeve sentimentality and mid-tempo balladry; and, over the next 20-odd years, they'd grow slower and prettier with each increasingly-scarce release.
