First, she made a pitstop in the husky voiced, post-Pixies' apocalyptic dawn of Kim Deal's Breeders. It wasn't long before Donelly debuted the simple, catchy, guitar-driven Indie pop of Belly on the cult fave CD <I>Star</I>. Whereas the Throwing Muses sometimes sacrificed immediate accessibility for a subtler, more patient craft, Donelly blazed a more direct path. At the fore was her breathy alto and love for syrupy-sweet, guilty pop pleasures, as evidenced by her first charttopper, the semi-spiritual "Feed the Tree." The gloriously polished <I>King</I> CD found Donelly ditching the haze altogether, nestling her pop confections in a rock band setting. All that's left of the spunky sprite on her 1997 solo CD <I>Lovesongs for Underdogs</I> is that determined alto -- even the CD cover is a blur of J. Crew sensuality. - Kelly BaumanJangle Popen720Wed, 9 Dec 2009 21:21:44 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6938&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Ftanya-donelly%2Fplaylists.rss Since leaving her half-sister Kristin Hersh's band Throwing Muses, singer/guitarist Tanya Donelly has gradually removed herself from the world of sylvan nymphs and the ethereal 4AD ethos.
