The Waves, the debut full length of shoegazey pop from San Francisco’s Tamaryn, is out now digitally, with vinyl coming on September 14th on Mexican Summer. The band is a duo featuring singer Tamaryn and collaborator/producer Rex John Shelverton, who had been working as a long distance NYC-SF pair before Tamaryn relocated west to work on this album. Judging from the songs above, which temper their haziness with a richness of detail, the move was definitely worth it.
Tamaryn has a record release show on September 15th at the Elbo Room (9pm, $8) with Weekend and DJ sets by oOoOO, DJ Nako and DJ Omar.
