1/11 Boston Globe blurb:
"TANYA DONELLY She was a founding member of three of the most important bands of the post-punk era - Throwing Muses, the Breeders, and Belly - which qualifies Donelly as a national treasure. It's been five years since she released her solo debut; now, on the heels of marriage and motherhood, Donelly returns with ''Beautysleep.'' Coproduced by the artist with husband/bassist Dean Fisher and Matthew Ellard, the album is dreamy and abstract, quieter but no less riveting than her early rock songs. Look for the disc Jan. 27 on 4AD and a tour in March." (Thanks Steve!)
