The person behind Vampire Weekend’s production and half of Islands’ distinctive sound shows more of his unique sonic signature on a full album of gentle songs awash in analog and digital abstractions and heavenly choruses
Ty’s arsenal of instrumentation continues to grow, as he fills out his domain of prog-rock, stoner drones, glam trash, and other Seventies detritus with keyboards, more keyboards, and an evolving sense of studio wizardry.
Solid guitar and keyboard pop, on the gentle dreamy side, with whispery singing and sharp arrangements.
It’s indie pop, but it’s also heavily inflected with soul, country, R&B, western swing, and a bad attitude.
Clever pop songs, filled with good hooks and ready for mixtapes
