Ex-Helium frontwoman Mary Timony’s sparky CMJ set on Friday had one flaw: It was too brief. We were especially excited to learn that the lineup she’s currently playing with is, like her old band, a trio that pumps out bottom-heavy arrangements, allowing her incredible guitar playing to shine. (Honestly, why do so few people point out how great her guitar technique is? Is it a Juliana Hatfield-esque prejudice of some kind?)
