While Claremont songwriter, guitarist, percussionist and experimental musician Norma Tanega scored her most memorable hit with 'Walkin' My Cat Named Dog', her later career heard her talents and curiosities get the best of her, working mostly as a percussionist and soundtracker in relative yet still intriguing obscurity. Her second LP followed duly from an early Dusty Springfield co-sign (and subsequent romantic relationship); while it charts the beginning of her transition into musical auteurism, most of Tanega's pop sensibility is so far retained here. Smack-dab in the middle of Tangea's extended stay in the UK after liaising with Springfield, the likes of 'Hampton Court' and 'Clapham Junction' allude to London's most major hubs of creative frenzy at the time, whilst the more abstract 'Elephants Angels And Roses' and 'Stranger' are relatively choral and lilting psych, folk and pop burrs, documenting the course of an relationship through confectionary vocals and romantic swells.
