Tripping Daisy is a new itniui
out of Dallas. Texas, thnt recent
ly released their debut album on
Island Records — buy it.
If you have heard nothing
from them yet. you will be
pleasantly surprised. If you have
listened to a little of the album
Bill, you are in for even more of
a treat — if you already own it
you need not read any further.
Four very talented musicians
make up Tripping Daisy: Tim
DeLaughter on lead vocals.
Bryan YVakelarid on drums.
Mark Pirro on bass, and YVes
Berggren on guitar.
The music on Bill is not simi
lar to anything that has come
before it musically. Lyrically,
the subject matter of Bill range
from premature ejaculation to
troubled relationships between
father and son. Most of the
songs, which were penned by
DeLaughter. are reflective and
enlightened without being over
ly political.
The first track on Bill, "My
Umbrella.'" is an upbeat pop
song that is so catchy you will
lie singing it in philosophy class
Iwfore you even know the name
of the song.
Next is the frenzied song
"One Through Four." about pre
mature ejaculation — the fast
pace of the song simulates the
act. In the song '"Brown Eyed
Picket Boy." DeLaughter pre
sents his view of what so< lety
would have been like if we had
not destroyed ourselves through
technology and materialism
Contrary to the way that it
sounds, the name Tripping
Daisy is not a reference to an
acid trip; it is the name of a fic
tional character that DeLaughter
and his girlfriend created The
name describes Daisy's trek
through life, and Delaughter
says is in no way meant to pro
mote drug use.
There are more important
things in life, so pay your rent,
pay your phono bill, and if you
have money left over after you
finish grocery shopping, buy Bill
by Tripping Daisy. The pur
chase will he well worth your
while.
