Whether you want to call it shoegaze or dreampop that slowly evolves into a nightmare, you’re not too far off the mark. On Tamaryn’s debut full-length “The Waves”, the duo that consists of Tamaryn and her partner in crime Rex John Shelverton do a pretty solid job of adding layers on top of each other and then letting them wash all over you (to keep up with the album title).
Think of My Bloody Valentine making sweet, sweet love to Cocteau Twins and you’re not too far off the mark either. The rhythms on here sound like a person dragging his feet while making sure he doesn’t stumble over them. At the same time the guitars and hushed vocals completely hypnotize you and lure you in over and over again. Even after listening to the band’s more upbeat songs like “Love Fade”, you will find yourself reaching for the nearest antidepressant only to then press repeat.
Fans of Spacemen 3, Slowdive and Beach House are sure to appreciate this.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
