March 27-April 2, 2003 musicpicks Mary Timony
Shhh. Mary Timony's gonna take you back. Way back. Dive under the new wave. Check behind the garage. Try the 17th century, when "I Prithee Send Me Back My Heart" first topped the charts. Closing out The Golden Dove (Matador), "Prithee" -- archaic syntax and all -- is closer in spirit to any modern love song than are spooky chamber-rock fantasies like "Look a Ghost in the Eye." Even when Helium tapped the indie-rock zeitgeist, all Timony's talk of dragons and drowned witches tipped off her heathen heart. So it's unsettling when she drops the metaphors on "Magic Power" and "Blood Tree" to chastise a bad neighbor and a worse boyfriend. A good shock, to be sure, but a small one beside the pedal-steel-and-cello defibrillation of "Dr. Cat." Touring with a band last summer, Timony danced as her coven nearly resurrected the dead. Maybe if we all stay quiet at the Tin Angel, she can do it on her own. On the other hand, go ahead and clap. Supernatural phenomena are best confined to Timony's imagination. Thu., March 27, 8:30 p.m., $10, Tin Angel, 20 S. Second St., 215-928-0978.
