After years of soul searching,
hamberlin has finally found their
nice. After two years of work,
bhamberlin's latest album, "The
loon My Saddle," has just hit the
treet. And with a three-year gap
etween this records, Chamberlin
as gone through dramatic changes.
Chamberlin grew up in the under-
round punk scene. which greatly
uenced their early music. As they
latured, the band developed their
iusic. Their punk sound has been
replaced with
more authentic
A in e ric a n"
rock - the
Chamberlin noise has been
filtered out giv-
Rick's ing way to more
May 20th serious and
instrumental
music.
The band's
music has blos-
sonmed wih the
reease of ttheir
ness abum.
Started in
loomington, Indiana, the core of
hamberlin has been playing togeth-
r since 1993, though there have
een other incarnations since the
s of early adolescence.
Through the years, the band nas
gone through many transitions and
changes, though they've remained
on the Doghouse label since middle
school.
Chamberlin has perfected the for-
mula for producing their material.
Adam Rubenstein, guitar/back-
ground vocals, writes the music
le lead singer David Moore
wites the majority of the lyrics.
Each band member, however, con-
tributes their own style and prefer-
ences for all the songs.
Growing up listening to early
Motown, Bob Dylan, Elvis Prestley
and Tom Waits, the band is definite-
ly a conglomerate of old fashioned
rock'n'roll. Chamberlin often con-
sider themselves to be following in
the footsteps of these music greats,
cy ing on the tradition of
'aerican Rock'n'Roll." Recently
Chamberlin has gained recognition
putting them among the ranks of
bands like Dave Matthews, Pearl
lam and Counting Crows.
"Tie Moon my Saddle" has sold
aver 70,000 copies since ist release
ast October, an impressive feat for
in independent record label. These
ockers have produced beautifully
o~estrated music in this album.
The majority of their new songs are
ery mellow with the harsh realities
if desperation, denial, and redemp-
iot through their thoughtful lyrics.

TLC
Fanmail
LaFace Records
TLC's first album was one you
could groove to Their second album
was lose at first beat.
The new album, "Fanmail," takes a
little bit more time to adjust to,
though. After a couple listens, how-
ever, "Fanmail" will become just as
much of a favorite as their first two
albums.
"No Scrubs" is one of the
strongest points of "Fanmail;" along
with "Unpretty." Both of these songs
illustrate how TLC brings up issues
other current artists fail to address.
Other strong points of the albun
are more of the hilarious skits and
lyrics, similar to ones the three pro-
vided on their two previous albums.
"Fanmail" is more mellow than
both of TLC's first two albums, but
nevertheless manages to produce a
strong dose of hip-hop beats.
Even though songs such as

'Lovesick" and "Autom
boring there's still hope:
like this albuml) the fins
should listen to it again
fully.
