Brave Irene – River To The Sea
It’s always nice when dreams come true and here we have Rose Melberg, formely of the much beloved Tiger Trap and the Softies, back at it in a full-fledged “twee as fuck!” indie-pop outfit. The band takes their name from a children’s book of the same title released in 1986 by William Stieg, who also incidentially wrote the original picture book Shrek! (yes THAT Shrek!) and his the father of jazz flute player Jeremy Steig! They’ve just released a sparklingly lovely EP on the always solid Slumberland records and here’s to hoping they come to Los Angeles and spend some quality time with us on Melting Pot.
