Being the house band of the legendary label Simple Machines (run by band members Jenny Toomey and Kristin Thompson) should have solidified their status amongst other 90s greats, but proper recognition has somehow eluded Washington D.C.'s Tsunami. The band had a very guitar-oriented sound courtsey of the interplay between Toomey and Thompson. Never as high energy or poppy as some of their peers, the band took a more subtle and laid-back approach to the melodic sound of the time.
Admittedly, this album is a little too long, but the highlights are numerous: "In A Name," "Water's Edge," and the single "Genius Of Crack" are all brilliant examples of how amazing early 90s indie was. This is definitely the pinnacle of Tsunami's greatness and one of my favorite albums from the era. Be sure to check out this woefully underappreciated act.
