Love Tara is the first full-length album by Canadian indie band Eric's Trip.
This was their first release on Seattle's Sub-Pop record label, their second not independently released. This was the first time a Canadian band was signed to Sub-Pop. Self-recorded in three months, it embodied Sub-Pop's shift to lighter, more melodic music. Though the lo-fi quality of the record threw many listeners and critics off, it was still very well received in both Canada and the United States.
The album's creative dynamic was influenced by the end of bandleader Rick White's romantic relationship with Julie Doiron, and the tensions created by his new relationship with Tara White.
In Chart's Top 50 Canadian Albums of All Time polls, Love Tara ranked 35th in 1996 and 37th in 2000.
[edit] Influence on other musicians
Sloan have covered the song "Stove" from this album.
The title of the album was referenced in fellow Canadian band The Tragically Hip's song "Put it Off", from their 1996 album Trouble at the Henhouse: "I played Love Tara/by Eric's Trip/on the day that you were born".
