Tiger Trap

Perfect for an afternoon of lollygagging, Tiger Trap’s self-titled debut will sweep you off your feet and into its upbeat, fuzzy dreams. Born in Sacramento, the quartet of Rose Melberg, Angela Loy, Jen Braun and Heather Dunn pairs spiky melodies with lovely harmonies and sweet-and-sour lyrics.

Recorded by Calvin Johnson, with cover art and lettering by Heather Lewis of Beat Happening, Tiger Trap was originally released on K Records in 1993 and became an underground favourite. The band’s brief life also produced the Supercrush single and Sour Grass EP. Melberg went on to record with The Softies, Go Sailor and Gaze, while Dunn frequently drummed in support of Lois.
