Editorial Reviews

The Extreme, Garfield, NJ, Feb. 95

The first track, Through My Lovers Eyes, actually reminded me of Talking Heads, circa Little Creatures. Jerrys keyboards are instantly recognizable. Tanin has a strong voice which alternately reminds me of Jerrys, David Byrnes, and Mike Peters (of the Alarm). Out Of My Head starts with Aint got no postcard / Aint got no letter, which would seem to be a direct reference to the Heads Life During Wartime. The song has a wonderfully moving beat and some funny lyrics. My favorite track on the CD...Little Black Book stands out, on account of its party-rock beat and its attitude...

Product Description

Sublime Nation is an independent shot with some major league collaborations... that has clean, up tempo pop melodies swimming in a mix of bright guitars, neatly arranged synthesizers and harmonies. Tanin's voice approximates something that sounds like a spry Donald Fagen minus the cynicism as he goes through a roster of love songs that are unique in that they are so unabashedly straight faced in a time when vague lyrical allusions reign supremo.
