What are their other albums? sorry, i'm not that knowledgable about ebtg, *but* i can tell you that the singer is tracey thorne and that she used to be in a band called the marine girls. if you *ever* see this album, get it!! it's much different than the material she makes now: more folky perhaps is one way of saying it. very simple tunes and guitarwork (no keys) rules here. maybe kinda like the roches on acid or some- thing... woj
