Songwriter Tara Jane O’Neil dove into her musical career in 1992 at the tender age of 20, playing bass for the influential Louisville, KY, art punk ensemble Rodan. Though the group lasted only two years, releasing just one full-length, O’Neil’s status had grown enough to land her a prominent role in the film Half-Cocked, a fictitious account of a Louisville punk band featuring faces from several other bands such as June of 44, The Grifters, and Rachel’s, but a lasting connection was made between O’Neil and Ruby Falls guitarist Cynthia Nelson. O’Neil and Nelson formed Retsin and released several long-players between 1995 and 2001, including a 1998 collaboration with Ida titled The Ida Retsin Family Album, Vol. 1. Both O’Neil and Nelson stayed busy outside of Retsin during this period; O’Neil, after moving from Louisville to New York City, formed The Sonora Pine, which lasted 1994 to 1996 and recorded two full-length records, moved back to Louisville, and recorded as a guest on recordings by Danielle Howle and Come. In 1997 O’Neil again relocated to New York City, which was about the time she met the folks in Ida and began working on her first solo recording, Peregrine, a lo-fi album mostly recorded in the bathtub of her flat that was released early 2000. She continued to keep her hands full, engineering and playing on the debut album by k., before again moving to Louisville as well as guesting on recordings by Papa M and Naysayer and releasing Music for a Meteor Shower, an improvised collaboration with Daniel Littleton of Ida, in 2002.
