#792 Tiger Trap - Tiger Trap

A hidden gem of 90's indie pop perfection, mining The Pixies' catchiest moments (especially that skitterey Debaser breakbeat) and forging them into proto-girl-group revival gold. The lyrics are simple and sweet, the melodies unassailable, everything decidedly pretty and nice, and a damn lot of fun besides, predicting Sleater-Kinney's poppiest moments, and pretty much everything by Vivian Girls.

The trick wears thin by the end, like so manny catchy 90's records, but its a delightful slice of saccharin along the way 4/5
