The Bay Bridged Reviews Little Shrine’s “Precise and Measured” Sophomore LP, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑨𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆

Last Friday, San Francisco’s Little Shrine released their sophomore LP, The Good Thing About Time. On it, bassist and singer-songwriter Jade Shipman thoroughly explores the past while simultaneously interrogating the present, taking it to task with an unapologetically feminist ethos.

Instrumentally, the album draws from the rich canon of trailblazing folk punk bands like Mischief Brew, but Little Shrine bucks folk punk tradition and does not relish in their own sloppiness. From the lush string arrangements to the driving bluegrass backbeats, The Good Thing About Time is precise and measured, betraying a barely suppressed anger and resentment of the status quo that serves as the foundation for many of the recurring themes across this album.

The Bay Bridged feature on City Tribe’s new record, the Tenderloin, and that Fleet Foxes comparison

On an improbably sunny Monday evening, City Tribe is seated in a semi-circle at a high-top table in Elite Café on Fillmore, knocking back a round of amber ales. Well, all except guitarist and singer Jacob Jones: He’s on his way, in what turns out to be an exhausting cab ride. Even with only three present, it’s already a challenge to tell them apart: so much facial hair.

As they settle in, drummer Cody Rhodes is chatting excitedly about two things: Café Elite’s art-deco ambiance, which he comments on a couple times, and the drummer that’s sitting down to his set at the front of the house, about to set the mood with a small jazz trio. They’re an enthusiastic bunch—surprisingly animated; disarmingly silly for a band that’s become known for mellow, acoustic-driven rock that almost always is described by beach metaphors. But now, just a few weeks shy of the release of their first full-length, Undertow, their ebullient nature as a band is starting to come to the surface. “Starting a writing process as a full band, immediately it’s going to have more rock to it,” says Rhodes.

The Bay Bridged describes City Tribe’s “Wildflower” as “a transition from the bi-polar weather of spring to California’s sticky-popsicles-on-porches summer.”
