Tyvek: On Triple Beams
In the Red
Four full-lengths in, Tvyek hardly have the art of joyous anarchy down to a science—because that would be antithetical—but the Detroit quartet certainly know a few arrangement tricks when it comes to conveying it. Oversaturation continues to serve the band well, applied to vocals (“Little Richard”), guitars (“City of a Dream”) and general ambience (“Efficency”). Leader Kevin Boyer
continues to tap a strategic melodic reserve somehow yet unsucked by his indie-punk brethren, slop-rock blasts coming unmoored amid deep fuzz and purest song-gunk. Boyer’s voice is cool in the pre-hipster sense, possessed of an innate, knowing amusement that transforms pop profundities like “don’t say ‘no’/ just say ‘yeah’/ yeah, yeah, yeah” (“Say Yeah”) and stoner remembrances (“Midwest Basements”) into elegant realizations of far deeper rites.
