Product Description

CD Description
Wedged between Jane's Addiction and the Dead Milkmen, Tripping Daisy bring a humorous, guitar-packed edge back to rock.I AM AN ELASTIC FIRECRACKER slips from tongue-in-cheek cliches of leather-clad lovers to eerie reminders of dead friends, all in a diverse grab-bag of post-punk posturing.
The album's first single, "I Got A Girl", is reminiscent of the Dead Milkmen's "Punk Rock Girl", while the retro-esque layers of "Same Dress New Day" draw on pangs of grief, and soundslike an odd mixture of Byrds and Cure guitar tones. Throughout I AM AN ELASTIC FIRECRACKER, guitarists Tim DeLaughter and Wes Berggren rip styles from near flamenco to roaring grunge. The album also showcases DeLaughter's on-target lyrics ("brush off your anger, show off your hair") and Berggren's sympathetic lead guitar.
In a genre of easy-to-pigeonholebands, Tripping Daisy's strength is its great range.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tripping Daisy Rule!, 20 May 2003
By A Customer
Tripping Daisy is a small relativley unknown band in the UK and yet thiere music polishes up to perfection. Catchy songs with meaningful lyrics and Tim De Laughter's unique vocal stylings make this a must-have album. It combines the most relaxing styles of rock with the coolest guitar noises.
