Using guitars, vocals and sparse electronic elements, Prism Tats pulls from various visual and musical inspirations to create waking dream sub-realities that devastate and elate. Prism Tats is the musical moniker of Garett van der Spek, who’s originally from South Africa but now based in LA. He released his self-titled debut album in 2016, followed by last year’s 11:11 EP, and he’s notably opened shows for such indie vets as Guided by Voices and Nada Surf. He’s now set to release a new full-length, Mamba, on March 2 via ANTI-Records, which was produced by Chris Woodhouse, who’s worked with Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall, The Intelligence, and others.
Like the other bands Woodhouse works with, Prism Tats channels classic garage rock with a knack for pop hooks and a bit of psychedelia. You can hear that for yourself on Mamba‘s lead single “Daggers,”
The new album ‘Mamba’ comes out 03.02.18 via ANTI- Records.
