Among late purveyors of Scotland's "twee-pop", the
Trash Can Sinatras were the most obviously derivative of
Aztec Camera but also the least tedious.
The singles from debut album Cake (Go Discs, 1990),
were refreshing and intriguing.
It took three years to follow up that album, but
I've Seen Everything (Go Discs, 1993) was probably worth the wait,
if you are into majestic pop.
Obscurity Knocks and Only Tongue Can Tell, the singles,
pale in comparison with the sophisticated arrangements of songs like
Hayfever.
Artificial and vain, the Trash Can Sinatras' ditties were nonetheless more
elaborate than the average.
Another three-year hiatus gave the band time to sculpt the songs of
A Happy Pocket (Go Discs, 1996).

Tra gli ultimi interpreti del twee pop scozzese, i Trash Can
Sinatras erano il derivato pił ovvio degli Aztec Camera, ma anche il meno
noioso. I singoli dall'album di debutto Cake (Go Discs, 1990) erano freschi e
intriganti. Ci vollero tre anni per dare seguito a quell'album, ma
probabilmente I've seen Everything (Go Discs, 1993) ne valse la pena, per
quelli a cui piace un pop pił maestoso. I singoli Obscurity Knocks e Only
Tongue Can Tell impallidiscono in confronto ai sofisticati arrangiamenti di
canzoni come Hayfever . Artificiose e un po' presuntuose, le canzonette dei
Trash Can Sinatras non erano tanto pił elaborate della media. Un altro periodo
di tre anni ha dato alla band il tempo di comporre le tracce di A Happy Pocket
(Go Discs, 1996).
