Yeah, voted Pirate Prude.
I know Ash isn't on that record but when I saw their first tour he played those early songs so incredibly well.

Holy shit, catch them live on this tour if you can. Her and her band are insanely good!

yes, please go see her, I want this tour to be successful enough that she adds west coast dates.

Saw the DC show. Loved some songs much more than others (although vocals not being loud enough in the mix at the beginning was part of the problem), but yep worth seeing.

Yes it is. One of the better 2010s rock albums. Too bad there wasn’t a follow-up.

Would have voted "Pirate Pride" since that's what I played the most. Man, her guitar and her voice... I was in lovefor a while. Still gets me in that "don't worry, we're in no hurry" 90s frame of mind.

Timony has recently done some DC, Ny, & Philly gigs with her Hardcore punk rooted side project Hammered Hulls. They feature Alec Mackaye on lead vocals, and Mark Cisneros who is in Kid Congo’s band

Timony was stung by the criticism and confused by how she could have been so misinterpreted. The metaphors she used on “Mountains” may have been superficially fantastical, but the underlying meanings were always straightforward, at least to her
From recent Washington Post article

Did some hitching with her about 30 years ago buit still not really caught up with her music. Trying to think who the band was we were following at the time. She over from DC in the UK. Dinosaur Jr or something. I think one of the very few times I've managed to get a lift that dropped me within minutes of my mother's place had her in the same lorry cab. Thought I was remembering her with dreads though.

at the time i rode hard for mountains and golden dove, would love to see those get a reevaluation
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Thursday, 4 March 2021 15:38 (three years ago) link
Watched Timony and band play Mountains live on that Bandcamp thing, and gotta confess some of it is too renaissance fair/medieval prog folk for me
― curmudgeon, Saturday, 6 March 2021 00:32 (three years ago) link
Once saw Timony and band repeatedly drop the ball on a song. Trainwrecked and ground to a halt, like multiple times. After one last attempt, Timony says she is going to take the opportunity to try something she's always wanted to do: Instead of actually performing one of her songs, just explaining how it goes. And that's exactly what she did. Genius.

she is so good
See the rock man in the woods?He's a hippie man on the cutting edgeWearing flowers in his beardHe sings the songs of a psychedelic seer, uh-huh
All of your fashions will fade, like the dawning and ending of days
Hippie man meets the avant-gardeHe's got a bunch of songsHe's working hard, uh-huh
Eighties man follows close behindForging brand new worldsWith his eighties mind

Sometimes her prog & art rock influences get too much for me, but other times I am fine w/ her sound . Plus she’s a friendly, nice person .
I see on her IG that she has a new album coming soon.

I am salivating for that new album.

Mary Timony Announces First New Solo Album In 15 Years Untame the Tiger Out February 23 on Merge2024 North American Headline Tour UnveiledToday, singer-songwriter and guitar hero Mary Timony announces her new album, Untame the Tiger, lead single/video “Dominoes,” and an extensive 2024 North American headline tour. Untame the Tiger marks Timony’s fifth solo album, her first in 15 years. It’s a startling document of an artist fully coming into her own power during the fourth decade of her career, the product of lessons learned during life-altering struggle. Lead single “Dominoes” is a cynical and funny description of a relationship not working out, and a reminder of the healing power of music. “This song was almost not on the record,” says Timony. “We needed one last song, and I found a demo of it I had forgotten about at the last minute.” Mixed by Dave Fridmann (MGMT, The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev), “Dominoes” features album contributors David Christian (Karen O, Hospitality) on drums and album co-producer Dennis Kane on bass. Watch Mary Timony’s Video for “Dominoes”
2024 North American Headline Tour Unveiled
Today, singer-songwriter and guitar hero Mary Timony announces her new album, Untame the Tiger, lead single/video “Dominoes,” and an extensive 2024 North American headline tour. Untame the Tiger marks Timony’s fifth solo album, her first in 15 years. It’s a startling document of an artist fully coming into her own power during the fourth decade of her career, the product of lessons learned during life-altering struggle. Lead single “Dominoes” is a cynical and funny description of a relationship not working out, and a reminder of the healing power of music. “This song was almost not on the record,” says Timony. “We needed one last song, and I found a demo of it I had forgotten about at the last minute.” Mixed by Dave Fridmann (MGMT, The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev), “Dominoes” features album contributors David Christian (Karen O, Hospitality) on drums and album co-producer Dennis Kane on bass. Watch Mary Timony’s Video for “Dominoes”
he mystical, guitar-driven Untame the Tiger emerged after the dissolution of a long-term relationship, and was bookended by the deaths of Timony’s father and mother. The album was recorded during a two-year period during which she was the primary caregiver for her ailing parents. “This was the hardest thing I’ve been through. Every week I had to manage a new crisis.” The tectonic psychic shift Mary experienced informs many of her lyrics on the album. “I started realizing that I gotta control the things that I can,” says Timony, who would write songs while going on mind-clearing walks and bike rides around her native Washington, DC. “Because I was making impossible decisions on behalf of my parents, creative choices now seemed more manageable. Since I had to confront the reality of loss, I realized what was important to me about being alive, and I became less scared. The record became my anchor in a time when I was losing so much around me. It felt like all I had—a guide that helped me through, and gave me hope." Untame the Tiger picks up the thread woven through Timony’s freak-folk-anticipating solo albums of the early ’00s. Basic tracks were recorded at Los Angeles’ Studio 606, with Timony backed by Dave Mattacks, drummer of legendary British folk-rock band Fairport Convention. “Mattacks is a hero of mine and one of my favorite musicians of all time. He is a true legend. I never in a million years thought he’d agree to play on my record,” says Timony. “Before the session, I had a panic attack and had to go sit alone in the parking lot… Once we started playing together, it felt so great that the fear subsided and turned into excitement. His playing felt instantly familiar, which makes sense because it’s the foundation of many of my favorite records.” Untame the Tiger was produced by Mary Timony, Joe Wong (composer on Master of None, Russian Doll, The Midnight Gospel, Krapopolis, host of The Trap Set podcast), and Dennis Kane. The album was recorded over the course of two years at Studio 606, Magpie Cage, 38North, and in Mary’s basement. Additional engineering by J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines). Musicians include Chad Molter (Faraquet, Medications), David Christian, and Brian Betancourt (Cass McCombs, Devendra Banhart, Hospitality). The album was mixed by Dave Fridmann, Dennis Kane, and John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile, Waxahatchee). Pre-order Untame the Tiger Untame the Tiger tracklist:1. No Thirds2. Summer3. Dominoes4.

Lol, in case you were wondering what Dave Mattacks would sound like with his perfectly tuned drums distorted beyond the red.
