Nov 15, 2012All nine of these slow-moving cuts are built on actual melodies, simple enough to stick right away, radiant enough to hang like this album's overtones, well after they are finished.
-
Oct 15, 2012Fortunately, adding more shape to their songs doesn't pin down their sounds too much.
-
Oct 16, 2012Tender New Signs makes the listener work a little harder within Tamaryn's framework, but it rewards as much, if not more, than the walls of noise threatening to hem them in just a few years ago.
-
Oct 15, 2012The only problem here is that the genre is taken to the extreme, and can blend together to the point where the album seems like one massive track.
-
Oct 25, 2012Tender New Signs does not manifest the insistent post-punk rhythms of the Led Astray Washed Ashore EP (2011), but it's not a huge departure from 2010 debut The Waves, though its sound is less chiming and more grinding (in a good way), the ethereality present only in vocals rather than in general suffusion, the darkness lingering at the edges palpable where before it was merely hinted at.
-
Oct 17, 2012Tamaryn is a nostalgic fan's daydream.
-
Oct 15, 2012It's cinematic, dramatic, and has vocals so indistinct that Tamaryn (the singer whose band this is) could just be coo-ing "turn up the smoke machine" over and over again.
