MOG Editorial Review

Now that they're getting ready to play their first show in two decades, now is the perfect time to acquaint yourself with this short-lived but influential indie pop outfit, combining shoegaze guitars with an upbeat sensibility to create a sound that influenced everyone from Best Coast to the Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Just as impressively, Pam Berry's vocals manage to feel dreamy despite the hints of melancholy that pop up on songs like "Throw Aggi Off the Bridge." Despite the twee pop distinction, there's nothing that sounds particularly childish here, instead sounding composed in a way few of their peers were at the time. This is all we have left of Black Tambourine, but we can only hope their reunion shows lead them to hit the studio again.
AMG Review of Black Tambourine

Indie pop as concept, as lifestyle, as aesthetic -- none of it came out of nowhere, and as time passes, deeper roots will be created. But Black Tambourine's work, only a clutch of singles and compilation appearances during its active lifetime, remains one of those touchstones that seem to be endlessly referred back to. It's perhaps no surprise that they've warranted a complete career overview by Slumberland not once but, with the appearance of this self-titled collection in 2010, twice. Hearing songs like the beautiful "For Ex-Lovers Only," "I Was Wrong," and "Pack You Up" again -- with their feedback as hooks, rumbling rhythms, and heavily reverbed yet still strongly sung ruminations on life and love -- is its own treat, though a familiar one from 1999's Complete Recordings, as well as the original releases themselves. So it's the six extras that receive the focus of attention on this disc, starting with demo versions of "For Ex-Lovers Only" and "Throw Aggi Off the Bridge" that are enjoyably scraggly if not as overwhelming as the final takes. The remaining four consist of new recordings by the original band, though they're not new songs; instead, they're selections from their irregular live sets that were never formally recorded and released at the time. The production style makes it sound like they were recorded at the same time as the rest of the disc, making it a seamless treat. Two originals, "Lazy Heart" and "Tears of Joy," kick along with all the spirit one would expect, especially the latter with its slower instrumental breaks and quicker verses, which makes for a nice contrast. The other two tracks are cover versions of Buddy Holly's "Heartbeat" and the lovely closer, Suicide's "Dream Baby Dream."
