Treasure November 25, 2008 Glasslands - Flac and MP3 Downloads
Posted by nyctaper - 06/12/08 at 10:12 pm
Treasure is a fairly new trio from Brooklyn, although all three members are veterans of the local music scene — vocalist Amanda Tomme performed most recently with The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Caleb Lindskoog plays guitar with local rockers The Silver State, and Ryan Trott has played with the folk band Hologram. Treasure is built around the emotive and throaty vocals of Tomme, the full-bodied chord work of Lindskoog and tasteful and appropriate percussion by Trott. Each member compliments the others with grace, and as a result the songs are well balanced, richly melodic and melancholic without being gloomy. The new Treasure CD is called Tea Parties and is available in individually hand-painted 300 limited numbered copies.
We captured Treasure’s outstanding recent live performance at Glasslands. The show was recorded from the video-projection desk in the front of the balcony and the sound quality is excellent. Amanda’s vocals were originally mixed low, but that deficiency was corrected quickly. Enjoy!
Treasure will perform three local shows in the next few weeks:
Dec 10 2008 Union Hall Brooklyn
Jan 07 2009 Zebulon Brooklyn
Jan 19 2009 Under St. Marks Told Reading Series NYC

[...] This is a great and relatively new trio from Brooklyn entirely deserving of their name. Though there is little mention of them outside of their MySpace profile so far, the balance the band members strike between each other is so gentle, dark and intoxicating that their allure seems made for an intimate, half-empty venue where the sound is perfect and everyone walks away mesmerised. You can buy a collection of seven songs entitled Tea Parties through their site, which comes with letter-pressed covers of original artwork designed and individually hand painted by Maude Black. There are only 300 copies and Pure Groove snapped up 25, who in turn sold out. The track above is taken from a live recording by NYCtaper which you can download in full for free here. [...]
