Album Review: The Tambourine Girls - The Tambourine Girls

A solid release built from a foundation of psych-pop smarts, The Tambourine Girls sounds exactly as you'd expect: jangly, rich and warm.

Deep Sea Arcade alumnus Simon Relf leads forays into country (Song For Gerald, Johnny Be Or Don't. Whatever) and folk (Townes Van Zandt, Ghosts), though the album feels most convincing in its moments of straighter rock (Cupo, The Tambourine Girl). While we've heard most of the album's melodic and lyrical tenets performed elsewhere, The Tambourine Girls know what works and what we like. They're more than happy to give it to us.
