About this item

West London-based Brazilian/British four-piece The Tamborines formed around the nucleus of Henrz (guitar/vocals) and Lulu (keyboards), and completed their line-up with the addition of second guitarist Aaron and drummer Thur. This CD single features the two tracks that appeared on their Sonic Cathedral debut 7": "Sally O'Gannon" - The Warlocks gone pop; an infectious garage rock rave-up combining 'Raw Power'-volume guitars with swooping Korg keyboards and a chorus the size of California, and "Be Around" - darkens the West Coast psychedelia with some black-clad East Coast sleaze, ending up something like Roger McGuinn and his 12-string Rickenbacker jamming with Lou Reed and John Cale on "Sunday Morning". It also includes "Come Together" from their second 7" - like The Jesus And Mary Chain if they'd ever learned how to lighten up. And the EP draws to a close with a demo version of "Sally O'Gannon".
