Tamaryn - The Waves (2010)
very good shoegaze record from San Fransisco (by way of NZ/NYC) outfit Tamaryn. i don't really even like 'gaze but this record is dope, reminds me alot of first gen stuff like MBV and The Pastels, with swirling/ethereal Cocteau Twins-style vocals and insistent basslines, especially on the opening and closing tracks. one of those albums that kind of floats by without being too ponderous, but that nevertheless leaves a lasting impression on you. more solid late night music for the end of the summer.
Mild Confusion
Glad to see this here... this is so good. Perfect for late summer afternoon :) Reminds me a lot of Mazzy Star, but i like this even better.
