Boo TrundleCountry of origin:U.S. Type of music generally:Alternative rock Status:Most recent album, Possible Bodies, 1995. See also:Wikipedia's entry for Boo Trundle Comparisons:A hard straightforward singer, a little like PJ Harvey, Zoë and maybe a little Kristin Hersh with a touch of Hole. (Neile) Covers/own material:Own General comments:Boo Trundle's sound is straightforward, strong, and driven. She frequently almost shouts her lyrics, but the overall effect is surprisingly compelling and musical. Her catchy sound and lyrics are intriguing and individual. This is stuff to play loudly: her music confuses me a little but still digs its hooks in my mind.(Neile) Recommended first album:any you can find Recordings:The Vast Underneath, tall sleep ep, Possible Bodies The Vast UnderneathRelease info:1993—Big Deal Records—9001-2 Availability:Available in the U.S. in stories that carry independent releases Ecto priority:Recommended for fans of indie rock Group members:Boo Trundle—vocals, guitars Guest artists:Akin Adams—bass Produced by:Boo and Yoram Vazan Comments:It takes a while to hear the individual songs on this album but suddenly they'll grab you. "Siva" in particular, with its driving sound and haunting lyrics has made me hit replay many times. This is active listening from the beginning of "Take Lightly" to the end of the album.
