The Indiecision Five at 5 is our attempt at sharing our musical tastes with you, and showcasing music from around the world. Each day at 5pm sharp, one NH7 writer or staffer will bring you five songs he/she is listening to on the day. This Friday, space cowboy Siddhant Mehta makes a playlist out of whims, fancies and other superfluous things. 1. Merchandise - 'Anxiety's Door' When I found this sound on Youtube I thought to myself "Look at these good ol' boys, they sure know how to act cool." I listened [...]

Here's the list of my favorite albums outside of Seattle for 2012. You may think it's late, but you should know I got it done before the Russian New Year. Kevin Shields, you still have a few more days. 1. Exlovers - exlovers ( Young And Lost Club ) Exlovers had my favorite single of 2011 and now my favorite record of 2012. Their debut album is a dreampop masterpiece that was a long time coming from this London band. [...]

Available in different sizes, colors, and configurations, it’s [...]

The third album from Detroit punks Tyvek is hard-edged but with killer tunes. Some of it is pretty hardcore, like the ramshackle construction of ‘Sea Walls’ which explores weird pastimes that pass for fun in the Motor City (“stealing sand from the stone company/ filling up bags at night”) and the scratchy staccato rhythms of ‘Little Richard’. ‘City Of A Dream’ is very English melodic punk which sounds like it could have been knocked off at the Roxy in 1976, while Kevin Boyer has the half-sung, half-chanted delivery of Wire’s Colin Newman, most notably on the brilliant lo-fi [...]

Though Dinosaur Jr. recently released its latest album [...]

Maybe next year, Justin... Once again we've spent a weekend chewing our pencils, checking our iPods and de-fluffing our navels, to cobble together some lists of the very finest musical moments of the past twelve months. We've been running these polls ever since we started in 2001 and last year the winners were One Thousand Pictures (Pete & Pirates) for the album, Bedroom Eyes (Dum Dum Girls) for the track, Two Wounded [...]
Tyvek vocalist Kevin Boyer talk-shouts without melody (e.g. high note, low note, loud note). His words are disconnected fragments of his laidback Detroit life. There's a song about self-actualization, a song about driving at night, a song about basements. After all, Boyer fronts a rock band that dwells in said basements, a rock band that’s made basements a sonic shtick (not unlike lo-fi gods Guided By Voices). Tyvek mic up and let their chords reverberate off concrete walls until the noise becomes ear-splitting, indistinguishable, and so far in the red that the end result of a compressed MP3 is [...]

For the last 20 years, music has primarily entered my lugholes via tinny computers,"i" prefixed devices and a pair of speakers salvaged from a £200 Aiwa midi hi-fi system that was already 10 years old when the Tricky stickers that adorn them were put on. This week Richer Sounds seduced me into a new decent-ish pair of speakers and my god, it's like I grew a new pair of ears! The only trouble is, everything sounds so good, if you put Morris Minor & The Majors "Stutter Rap" on right now, the [...]

@boomkatonline Género: garage, rock, punk. Hace falta mala leche, al menos actitud, corren tiempos para huir de indefiniciones. Tyvek apuestan por ir de frente desde el 2004. Kevin Boyer (vocals, guitar), Heath Heemsbergen (guitar), Damon Sturdivant (guitar), Larry Williams (bass), Shelley Salant (bass) y Matt Ziolkowski (drums) de Detroit, claro. Tras cinco largo llega On Triple Beams , que circula desde hace un suspiro, y el single Wayne County Roads , para situarnos, dejada producción, sucia, una apisonadora, decidida y pesada, no apta para las [...]

Tyvek - Scaling Tyvek - Little Richard Detroit garage/punker amalgamation Tyvek churn out some delightfully raucous sounds on the new On Triple Beams full length, following up on the Nothing Fits release (which we just love, love , to play really, really loud, like all of the time) from a couple years ago. All reckless and churning and fast-forward style, this one's a wild ride from start to finish and if you're [...]

Spotlight: Brian Eno - Lux [Warp] As if Eno doesn't already have enough under his belt, he decided to go ahead and make yet another album. Seven years after Another Day on Earth , Lux clocks in at four massive tracks that run over an hour long. Eno recalls his earlier ambient work in the '70s: the album is as free as 19752s Discreet Music yet has progressions similar to those from 19782s Music for Airports . Lux is cinematic [...]

It's been over two years since I've heard anything new from Tyvek . Whether that's more due to my lack of research (they were included in one of my first Our Newest Obsession pieces) after I heard their still awesome "4312" probably has more to do with it, but I'm glad I'm hearing the Detroit band again. Listen to "Wayne County Roads" below, which comes from the group's new album On Triple Beams , which is out today via In The Red .

Num cenário onde boa parte do rock n' roll se tem concentrado mais na imagem do que na música propriamente dita, é essencial ter presente bandas como os Tyvek ou editoras como a In The Red. On Triple Beams é o nome do novo disco dos norte-americanos com edição oficial agendada para amanhã, dia 13 de novembro, precisamente pela mão da In The Red. Quem teve a oportunidade de os ver ao vivo, saberá com exatidão e experiência que se trata de um dos casos mais genuínos do rock atual. Mantendo bem viva a chama do punk e [...]

Over the past few years Tyvek have continued to hollow out their existence in a pocket of the Detroit music scene that borders its punk roots and its noise present. They've consistently knocked out albums that feel like a raw nerve in the wind, bracing and jolting, electric in the way they pull at the fine hairs on the back of your neck. Their last was more aggressive, almost bordering an abrasiveness that owed something to hardcore. This time around though the band feels more positive, back to some of their fun-loving past selves. There's even a couple of loose [...]

by teepoo This weekend I attended All Caps! Island Festival presented by Wavelength music. I didn't camp, but I attended both days. Here is my recap of day 1. - First up was Triple Gangers . They were an electro-pop band with quirky vocals that complimented their silly tiara-wearing personas. It was wildly appropriate since this was an All Ages festival and there were little kids. I semi- wish they had [...]

Emily Berger While it's true that Toronto's days of having a BIG annual music festival out on the islands appear to be over - the locally-grown, Wavelength -affiliated ALL CAPS fest has been more then happy to step in for those needing to combine a ferry crossing with live music to make their Summer worthwhile. Since their inaugural edition in 2009, they've put together bills that have showcased a lot of local and a little bit of imported talent, combined with art and film components [...]
