This 1993 album has been out of print on LP for over 20 years
Perfect for an afternoon of lollygagging, Tiger Trap's self-titled debut will sweep you off your feet and into its up-beat, fuzzy dreams. Born in Sacramento, raised in the pop-rock heyday and laid to rest much too soon, this all-female (Angie Loy, Rose Melberg, Jenn Braun, Heather Dunn) troupe will accompany your cloud-watching for the rest of the day.
Recorded by Calvin Johnson with cover art and lettering by Heather Lewis (Beat Happening), Tiger Trap [KLP017] was released on K in 1993. It has been a fan favorite and for over 30 years. The album has been out of print on the long-playing (LP) phonograph record format for over 20 years. This repressing comes after many requests from fans (and record stores) throughout this century.
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 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; the record was a major underground favorite, with its spiky melodies, lovely harmonies and sweet-and-sour lyrics striking a chord throughout the underground music community. Sadly, after just one more EP, Sour Grass [KLP023], Tiger Trap disbanded in the wake of a December 1993 concert in San Francisco, although a handful of compilation tracks appeared posthumously. In the years to follow, Melberg remained the most prolific member of the outfit, recording as one half of the Softies as well as with Go Sailor! and Gaze. Dunn, meanwhile, frequently drummed in support of Lois.
