Amazon.ca Canadian Essential
The first Canadian band signed to grunge standard-bearer Sub Pop, Eric's Trip emerged from the same scene as Sloan. Released in 1992, Love, Tara blended the band's low-fi pop leanings with a noisy, guitar-fueled spirit much more reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine than Sonic Youth. An interesting, multi-faced recording that is fully supported by excellent melodies and deeply buried pop sensibility. -- S. Duda

Amazon.ca
Swept up alongside Jale and Thrush Hermit in the frenzied early-'90s East Coast search for the next big thing, Moncton's Eric's Trip ended up playing the supporting role of Sebadoh to Sloan's Nirvana. 1993's Love Tara was recorded at home on a four-track under the influence of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless and substantial doses of Lou Barlow. The disc alternates between frail campfire whispers like the brittle opener, "Behind the Garage," and roiling balls of distortion like "Anytime You Want" and "Follow." In each, vocalists Rick White and Julie Doiron trade lines back and forth while a remarkably tight rhythm section rumbles behind them. Forceful but seemingly always on the verge of collapse, Love Tara's greatest feat may be its economy--15 songs in 37 minutes and not a spare note to be found. --Matt Galloway
