The
Inner Ear: The Week in Music
by Frank DiGiacomo
Girlyman.
Don’t listen for any Schwarzenegger or Hans and Franz reference,
just harmonies that will raise the gooseflesh on your delts and
glutes. These two girls and a guy—Doris Muramatsu, Tammy
Greenstein and NateBorofsky—became a group when they ended
up renting a Brooklyn apartmenttogether, and—praise New
York real estate!—the trio has now put out a great-sounding
full-length debut, Remember Who I Am (Clever
Shark Records), in which they apply those gorgeous harmonies
to a number of different musical styles, including rock, calypso,
country and George Harrison’s "My Sweet Lord." You
probably won’t remember too much about the arrangements,
though, or the lyrics, which tend to be unremarkably straightforward,
but you won’t forget the glorious noise they make. See
them on Nov. 10 when they perform at the Fez, which is more cramped
than a Manhattan studio.
