Black Tambourine - Lazy Heart
Black Tambourine (Slumberland)

Slumberland has decided to reissue Black Tambourine’s “Complete“ Recordings (quotation marks added) including six tracks previously unreleased, including four recorded by a reunited Black Tambourine specifically for this record.  For those of you unaware, Black Tambourine made some fantastic lo-fi dream pop, influencing a load of groups that you already love - Vivian Girls, for instance, have been doing a great Black Tambourine impression for a while now.

In addition to the ten tracks found on the 1999 issue, there are two demo tracks, two newly recorded originals, and two newly recorded covers - one a Buddy Holly tune, and one a Suicide track.  They’re all excellent.

Since a lot of you are probably already familiar with the first ten tracks, which are all fucking awesome, I’ve attached a new one, “Lazy Heart,” for you to sample.

Happy 20th Slumberland/Black Tambourine!
