Tullycraft
Tullycraft is an American indie pop band from Seattle, Washington, that formed in 1995. They have been associated with the genre of twee pop; in fact, they are considered to be one of the true pioneers of the American twee pop movement. They are known for their DIY ethic, only releasing albums on independently owned and operated record labels. History Formation and early recordings The band's original line-up was Sean Tollefson (bass/vocals), Gary Miklusek (guitar/vocals), and Jeff Fell (drums). Prior to forming Tullycraft, both Tollefson and Fell played in the band Crayon in Bellingham, Washington and Miklusek played in the band Wimp Factor 14 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They met each other while their respective bands were on tour together. On February 28, 1995, Tullycraft played their first show at ReBar, a small club in Seattle. Joining them on the bill that evening was the band Incredible Force of Junior. Eventually, Chris Munford (from Incredible Force of Junior) wou ...

The Railway Prince Hotel
''The Railway Prince Hotel'' is the seventh studio album by American band Tullycraft, released by Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records in February 2019. The album had a modestly different sound than the band's previous releases, somewhat due to the fact that long-time drummer (and original Tullycraft member) Jeff Fell, did not make an appearance on the album, but also because of the new approach the members of the band took to the recording process. Much of the album was improvised during the recording sessions. This was an untried approach for Tullycraft. Equipped with lyrics and vocal melodies (provided by Tollefson) the band composed many of the new songs from the ground up in the studio. Most of the album was recorded and mixed by Pete Remine at Dubtrain Studio in Seattle, Washington. Four of the tracks were mixed by Larry Crane at Jackpot! Studio in Portland, Oregon. Reception A review by Rich Quinlan in '' Jersey Beat'' says "having been immersed in college radio in the mid- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Beat Surf Fun
''Beat Surf Fun'' is the third studio album from the indiepop band Tullycraft. The entire album was recorded on analog tape at a practice space the band rented in Ballard, WA. It is the first record the band released on the Portland-based Magic Marker Records. The album included the single "Wild Bikini" and the international indie pop hit "Twee." ''Beat Surf Fun'' also marks the first appearance of vocalist, Jenny Mears, who would eventually join Tullycraft. The design of the CD back card can be confusing since it lists the title of the album on the sides as "Fun Beat Surf" and "Surf Beat Fun" respectively. Track listing ''All tracks by Tullycraft except where noted.'' # " Twee" – 3:23 # "Glitter & Twang" – 4:09 # "Christine, ND" (Six Cents and Natalie) – 3:18 # " Wild Bikini" – 2:34 # "DIY Queen" – 4:19 # "Cowgirls On Parade" – 3:12 # "I Kept The Beach Boys" – 2:27 # "Orange Cake Mix" – 1:50 # "Knockout" (Benji Cossa) – 1:55 # "Radio Theme" – 0:46 # "S ...

City Of Subarus
''City of Subarus'' is the second album from the indie pop band Tullycraft. Chris Munford from the band Incredible Force of Junior joined Tullycraft prior to the recording of this album, making the three piece a foursome. On this sophomore release, Tullycraft introduced electronic beats and a punk-ish sound contrasting with their debut Old Traditions, New Standards. The entire record was self-recorded using an Otari MX5050 8-track analog tape machine at a house rented by Munford and drummer Jeff Fell. The house was located across the street from a Subaru dealership, inspiring the album's title. Jen Abercrombie from the Los Angeles band Rizzo provided additional vocals on many of the songs.

Tullycraft – Lost In Light Rotation 7"
''Lost in Light Rotation'' is the sixth studio album from indie pop band Tullycraft. After a three-year hiatus, the album was the band's first since '' Every Scene Needs a Center'' in 2007. All five band members (Tollefson, Fell, Munford, Mears and Hale) reunited for the album, and the band began the recording process during the summer of 2012. Tracking began with engineer Pete Remine at Dubtrain studio in Seattle. Producer Phil Ek, whose credits include The Shins' ''Chutes Too Narrow'', Band Of Horses' ''Everything All the Time'' and five Built to Spill albums, was recruited to mix the record. Ek's influence was apparent as the album had a slightly more polished, less lo-fi sound than past releases. The album was co-released on April 23, 2013, by Magic Marker Records in the US and Fortuna Pop! in the UK.
