The Burdens of Being Upright

Tracy Bonham

A volatile mix of classically trained violin and post-grunge grit. Explosive dynamics that swing from sarcastic whispers to cathartic, throat-shredding screams.

March 19, 1996 · Island Records

A sharp, sarcastic, and ultimately cathartic explosion of repressed energy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the polite telephone-voice verses to the blood-curdling scream of the chorus in Mother Mother.
The way the violin mimics a feedback-heavy guitar solo on Navy Bean, blurring the line between classical and grunge.
The skeletal, haunting arrangement of Sharks Can't Sleep that showcases a more restrained and eerie vocal performance.
