Tiny Lights – Hot Chocolate Massage – Vinyl Record

Hot Chocolate Massage is an album by the band Tiny Lights. Released in 1986, the album offers a glimpse into the alternative music scene of the time, featuring a blend of eclectic styles and artistic influences.

Tiny Lights was a music group formed by John Hamilton (guitar/vocals) and Donna Croughn (vocals/electric violin) in 1985. Original members include Dave Dreiwitz (bass/trumpet), Jane Scarpantoni (cello) and John Mastro (drums). Based in Hoboken, New Jersey, the group released a total of seven albums, two of which were later released on Psychic TV’s Temple Records. From 1988 to 1994 Tiny Lights toured the United States extensively. Other members include Stuart Hake (cello), Andy Demos (drums), Catherine Bent (cello), Andy Burton (piano, organ), and Ron Howden (drums formerly the drummer for Nectar).

The group’s members employed a rich array of instrumentation, including cello, electric violin, trumpet, soprano saxophone, tabla drums and bass clarinet. Improvisation was a constant feature of their live performances. One critic has memorably described the band as “Sly and the Family Partridge.”

Dave Dreiwitz went on to play bass for the band Ween. Jane Scarpantoni has enjoyed an illustrious career, recording and touring for countless artists, including Lou Reed, Bob Mould, 10,000 Maniacs, R.E.M., The Indigo Girls, Bruce Springsteen, and the Lounge Lizards. John Hamilton and Donna Croughn are raising their two children in Cambridge, Mass., where John works as a Professor of Comparative Literature at Harvard University.

Tiny Lights, known for their experimental and genre-blurring approach, created an album that defies easy categorization. Hot Chocolate Massage showcases a mix of rock, post-punk, and elements of folk and psychedelia, resulting in a sound that is both unique and captivating.

Lyrically, Hot Chocolate Massag” explores introspective themes, personal reflections, or abstract storytelling. The band’s approach to lyrics and songwriting could be poetic and thought-provoking, inviting listeners to engage with the music on a deeper level.

Given the album’s release in the mid-1980s, it also reflects some of the alternative and indie music trends of that era. Hot Chocolate Massage resonates with fans of underground music scenes and those who appreciate artists willing to experiment with sound and push the boundaries of conventional genres.

Hot Chocolate Massage by Tiny Lights likely embodies the band’s artistic ethos, offering a blend of genres, textures, and emotions that create a distinct and memorable listening experience for those who are open to exploring the unconventional and the eclectic.
