Black Tambourine are a good example of a band that's assumed legendary status now but back in the day I could barely find anyone who'd heard of them. Hailing from the Washington DC area, they were one of the first Slumberland bands and pretty much epitomised that label's shoegazey-twee trademark, complete with haunting female vocals. I actually think they'd have benefited by making the vocals a bit less haunting, though I'm not sure if the effect was deliberate or just a result of not having the budget for a better mix. Anyway, Slumberland has recently issued a full retrospective of the band so if you like this there's plenty more where it came from.
This is a 1991 single.
