For more than 30 years, singer-songwriter and guitar hero Mary Timony has cut a distinctive path through the world of independent music, most recently as vocalist and guitarist of acclaimed garage-pop power trio Ex Hex but also as a member of seminal postpunk band Autoclave, celebrated leader of the deeply influential Helium, multifaceted solo artist, and a co-founder of supergroup Wild Flag.
Described by Sleater-Kinney's Carrie Brownstein as "Mary Shelley with a guitar" and dubbed "a trailblazer and an innovator" by Lindsey Jordan aka Snail Mail, Timony has distinguished herself as one of her generation's most influential. Her fifth solo album, "Untame the Tiger", approaches these emotions head on.
Her first solo release in 15 years is a startling document of an artist fully coming into her own power during the fourth decade of her career. It is the product of lessons learned during life-altering struggle. The mystical, acoustic-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 tectonic psychic shift Mary experienced due to this loss informs many of her lyrics. "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 Studio 606 in Los Angeles, with Timony backed by Dave Mattacks, drummer of legendary British folk-rock band Fairport Convention.
