What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Maggie feeling happy.

Detroit outfit Tyvek with Summer Burns; a double 7" of guitar led lo-fi strumming energy all topped with over driven fast delivered vocals. All the usual stop-starts you'd expect from a garage band and some pretty intense moments that would be best sampled in a sweaty cellar without thought for fire escapes or smoking bans. Distorted guitar steals the show though as a beacon for slacker happy anti-fashion...coolio

What the label says:

NEW TO THE WYR? FAMILY, TYVEK-- KEVIN (GUITAR/VOX), HEATH (GUITAR),LARRY (BASS/THE LAW), AND MATT (DRUMS)-- HAIL FROM DETROIT, MI; YOU CAN PROBABLY HEAR IT IN THE MUSIC. TYVEK'S SONGS ARE A PRODUCT OF TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THEIR CITY: THE EMPTY SPACES, POISONED GROUND, BURNT-OUT BUILDING SHELLS.IN SPITE OF ALL THAT, TYVEK LOVE THE LAND, THE CITY, THE INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE SOUND… THE SOUND OF TURNING IT UP AND THEN HAVING YOUR FRIENDS TURN IT UP TOO, UNTIL YOU'RE ALL WIRED INTO SOME CHEAP FREQUENCIES AND FEELING SOME REAL BUZZ IN THE AIR. THE TYVEK SOUND: ALIENATED NOWNESS BANGED OUT FOR LOVE AND BOREDOM AND DRINKS.THINK HALF THE MONKS, HALF THE ELECTRIC EELS WITH HALF JAPANESE'S GEAR OR EVEN SWELL MAPS’. BUT NO ONE LIKES A COMPARISON AND TYVEK SOUND MOSTLY LIKE THEMSELVES.THE SONGS ARE ALL RECORDED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS, ON BUDGET EQUIPMENT. THE SUPER STEREO PING PONG OF NEEDLES DROP, THE SHRAPNEL CHORUS ON GIVE IT UP ALL BELIEVE IN ONE THING: LOUD!. FAST! WEIRD!. A KILLER DOUBLE 7", ESSENTIAL!

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
