Detroit's garage rock stalwarts Tyvek are the latest band of Motor City madmen to blow up on the national level. Influential scenesters
The Fader
writes, "Not gonna lie,Tyvek
showed up a little early to the party. And by party we mean Garage Rock
Explosion Part Whatever. But now they're in good company. Such good
company, in fact, that we worry about the boys getting lost in the
shuffle when really they've been killing it on a fairly regular basis
for awhile now."
Perhaps the biggest indie music website, Pitchfork, followed suit, awarding their new LP,
Nothing Fits, a
not-Kanye-but-still-killer 7.8.
Excerpt:
"
Nothing Fits is the band's first release to be recorded in an
actual studio, and the result is a shorter, more focused record, but
hardly a cleaner one. The vocals are strangled, the guitars awash in
amplifier buzz. On the title track-- with its unrelenting snare cracks
and blizzard of treble-cranked guitars-- Tyvek come off like the Motor
City's answer to Huggy Bear. It's mosh-worthy, but not to an ugly, macho
extreme.
