A VOCAL PERFORMANCE FOR THE AGES, SPINNING MAJESTIC WEBS OF MELLOW ATMOSPHERE WOVEN WITH RHYTHMIC TEXTURES AND LOW-KEY MOVEMENTS
The 10,000 Maniacs were at their peak when scintillating singer Natalie Merchant announced that she was leaving the band to pursue a solo career. On her gorgeously detailed folk-pop debut Tigerlily, Merchant turns in a vocal performance for the ages, spinning majestic webs of mellow atmosphere woven with rhythmic textures and low-key movements. This 1995 set is a mood masterpiece.
San Andreas Fault Wonder Beloved Wife River Carnival I May Know The Word The Letter Cowboy Romance Jealousy Where I Go Seven YearsRemastered from the original analog tapes, Mobile Fidelity's collectable version of Tigerlily mines every last nuance and delicate tone from this intimate gem. Merchant is presented with an up-close clarity and full-bodied richness that enhance the album's deeply emotional feel. The vocalist's bracing conviction is matched by small-scale acoustic frameworks that don't let a note go to waste. Mobile Fidelity's engineers worked to make sure you hear all of them. Balances are superb, dynamics are grand. The results will leave you hypnotized.
