Try the Pie at Three Imaginary Girls

I’m a sucker for lo-fi confessionals. Having someone more eloquent than myself detailing my ownself-conscious inner dialogs comforts me and cushions my own nervous conclusions and assumptions. The new Try the Pie album, Rest, hits all those chords of hopes and fears and longing and lust.Imagine the minimalist beauty of early Kim Deal demos after… Continue reading Try the Pie at Three Imaginary Girls

Try the Pie at Innocent Words

Try The Pie is the songwriting project of San Jose-based musician/writer/artist Bean Tupou. ‘Rest’ is a seductive mix of sugar and citrus, as achingly sincere as Kim Deal at her finest. You can’t help holding your breath to hear how the story ends. “I wrote the songs over a duration of three years (2005-2008) and… Continue reading Try the Pie at Innocent Words

South Bay-based musician Bean Tupou of Try the Pie is involved in a variety of projects in support of the DIY community, from the San Jose collective Think and Die Thinking to the twee-punk act Sourpatch among others.

Try the Pie at Collective Zine

I mentioned on a recent review of Jess Locke’s LP that I’d been listening to a lot of downbeat, bedroomy recordings lately and I think this one fits in well with that. Try The Pie is the solo work of Bean Tupou who is based in San Jose and is also a member of Crabapple… Continue reading Try the Pie at Collective Zine

Try the Pie at Impose

It’s probably because I’ve spent most of my life writing that it’s only now, as I’m in a band, that I’m feeling the effects of reception. When you write 90-page screenplays, it is both fortunate and unfortunate, that few, if any, people end up reading them. I’ve never had to worry about authenticity or selling… Continue reading Try the Pie at Impose

Try the Pie at Magnet

Try The Pie’s sound is like a lazy early morning—it’s uplifting but peaceful. The new song from San Jose songwriter Bean Tupou is called “Alu A,” and it drifts along a river of beautiful weaving vocals and a barren acoustic strum. The track comes from her the upcoming Rest, which will be released November 20. Download… Continue reading Try the Pie at Magnet

Try the Pie at Austin Town Hall

I was looking for something gentle and innocent today, so it’s a good thing that we got this new track from Try the Pie in over the weekend. It’s the writing project of Bean Tupou, and it’s got this great recording quality despite sounding like these song’s are all coming straight from Bean’s bedroom. Musically,… Continue reading Try the Pie at Austin Town Hall

Try the Pie at Impose

If you followed our Best Cassettes of 2014 list late last year, you might remember reading about a Bay Area indie-pop band called Crabapple and their incredible tape,Is It You? The drummer of Crabapple, Bean Tupou, also writes songs under the moniker Try the Pie. The project was formerly an intimate, sweet-sung solo endeavor, but for the band’s next full-length,… Continue reading Try the Pie at Impose
