Tender Trap 'Ten Songs About Girls'
Tender Trap 'Ten Songs About Girls'
Fortuna POP!
Tender Trap is lead by indie legend and feminist icon Amelia Fletcher (formerly of Talulah Gosh and Heavenly), the band now also includes Emily Bennett from Betty and the Werewolves, replacing Elizabeth Morris from Allo Darlin'.
Emily brings another dimension to the band with her ebullient rock guitar playing, fantastic singing, and endless enthusiasm, joining existing members drummer and vocalist Katrina Dixon, John Stanley on guitar and original Heavenly bass player, Robert Pursey.
Ten Songs About Girls is Amelia & Co's most complete-sounding effort yet, filled to the brim with resounding backing vocals and glorious fuzz.
The album's artwork comes in green, purple and white ¬' the suffragette colours, sharing the original feminists' concern for aesthetics as well as politics. With three strong female voices on the record, sometimes harmonizing, sometimes calling and responding, sometimes singing alone, Tender Trap draw on the dynamics of the original girl group songs, but aim to show what happens when those girls aren't in thrall to the male Svengali.
