Product description

As for what that entails, the group is quick to name-check everyone from Neil Young and Yo La Tengo to the Flaming Lips and Sonic Youth. Not to mention countless strains of Krautrock and the two albums they can all agree on: Talk Talk s Spirit of Eden and 666, a demented double LP from the Vangelis-led Aphrodite s Child collective. While those artists may read like randomly selected record tore references, Tripwires debut album doesn t quote anything directly. Subconsciously maybe, but never as a nod to anyone but themselves, whether they re sampling interstellar static ( Slow Mo ), dodging dollops of feedback ( Plasticine ), or floating through power chords and thunder-clapped storm clouds ( Spacehopper ). The main strength of this band is our closeness as friends, they explain. It s allowed us to stay strong as a unit, with very little influence from people on the outside. It s pretty hard for anyone to worm their way in and gain our trust. That explains how Tripwires went from covering Slipknot hey, we were all young once during their lunch break to slowly but surely hovering in the stratosphere between pedal-pushing shoegaze pop and pressure-cooked psych rock. And if the nearly eight minutes of experimentation that went into Tinfoil Skin are any indication, they re not done fine-tuning their tracks yet either. Not even a little bit.

    it is so nice!

    Takes you away to that chilled out place, classic magic carpet ride full of rich bass tones and rippling smoky sounds.
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2013
    The band name, album title and psychedelic artwork are a good indication of what's on offer with this album. It's spacey/psychedelic/shoe-gazey indie rock with echoey/falsetto vocals, but there are also many other influences too making it an interesting listen.
    There's a mixture or hints of My Vitriol, MBV, Spiritualized, The Darkside, Radiohead or even pre-poppy The Boo Radleys.
    The title track opens gently but gives way to a great (s)crunchy guitar riff which is all over way too soon and could easily have been stretched out much longer.
    'Plasticine' has plenty of wah-wah effects on show with more scuzzy guitar but the rest of the album is only mostly good and not memorably great.
    'Shimmer' has some nice guitar flourishes and 'tinfoil skin' has a fine frenetic ending but the rockier tracks are generally better than the slower tunes although the final track 'slo mo' is a good weepy guitar ballad.
    I liked it, hence the 4 stars, but if i was giving marks out of 10 it would probably be a 6 or 7 out of 10.

    This brilliant debut by this Reading band is wonderful, trippy journey from start to finish. In my opinion, it's the best debut since The Stone Roses.
