Bound Together
Suddenly, Tammy! have an indie-pop feel while being on one of the majorest of major labels (Warner Brothers). Singer Beth Sorrentino reminds me of Lisa Cerbone and Lisa Germano. Their sound is rooted in Beth Sorrentino's piano. There's no guitar on this album. Suddenly, Tammy! are a trio with Jay Sorrentino on drums and Ken Heitmueller on bass. Think some of Joni Mitchell's stuff with a 90s indie-pop youth and sensibility about it. Maybe even think John Cale's piano influence with a "Femme Fatale" sort of vibe here and there.
