this is an oddity from 1993, we spent 3 weekends recording a different 7" each one, no rehersals, nothing... this one has me, Norman Westburg (the swans) & Roland S Howard (crime & the city solution, the birthday party) on it... there's another two out there somewhere (but i don't have them...), with Lee Renaldo (sonic youth) & David Kleiler (volcano suns), out there somewhere...
Black Tambourine made dark lovely indie pop back at a time (the end of the '80s) when there weren't any other bands making that kind of music and in a city (Washington, DC) where punk was the thing to do. What's remarkable about Black Tambourine isn't just that they were swimming against the tide, but also that the kind of music they were making caught on big time in the '90s, and that the songs they recorded proved so durable. Sadly there aren't many of those, just ten, all of which have been collected on Complete Recordings, which commemorates the band's brief two-year career.
On 16 October 2001, all four members of Ride agreed to be filmed by Channel 4. The footage was used for a documentary on Sonic Youth, and featured both Bell's and Gardener's unique use of feedback and distortion during a thirty minute jam. The recording of this song, plus two short sound checks, were released in 2002 as Coming up for Air.
