Details
18 tracks of primo punk rock from Tyvek, recorded on 27th september 2010. "There's a weird intensity to even the most slacked-out of these songs, a sense of impending doom even as singer Boyer mouths tuneless "la la las" and the bass and drums build underneath. Confined rhythms ? the sing-song beat of penultimate cut "What To Do" for instance ? imply a need to escape. Drawling mantras, repeated endlessly, point toward a willingness to tune out. But every once in a while, usually through some sort of guitar experiment, the boxy confines of these songs open out into something spacious and really beautiful. It happens with the Doppler-whining flange late in "What To Do," and with the layers of feedback in the lovely, wistful "Hey Una." It's part of this band's charm that they can remind you of the Fall, the Urinals, Volcano Suns, the Observers and Television Personalities, all within five minutes." DUSTED.
