TINMOUTH – ” The Key Sessions “
Posted: January 9, 2015 in MUSICTags: Indie, Key Studio Session, Says, Tinmouth
The band has a very distinct, vintage DIY sound; it draws from influential artists that would have been playing the Golden Tea Houses of the early 80s. In their Key Studio Session, you’ll hear a sharp Mission of Burma and Gang of Four edge (“Same Noise”), a catchy Yo La Tengo-style sense of pop (“Prevent Defense”), and a bit of R.E.M. contemplation (“What More Can I Say?,” which nods lyrically to “Pretty Persuasion” and on which Tebordo’s voice sounds positively Michael Stipe-ian). Anchoring this tasteful blend is Alyssa Shea’s asskickery on the drums, with Tebordo’s evocative guitar screams and Aaron Sternick steady bass and vocal harmonies filling the mix out.
Tinmouth is gearing up to release its debut LP “Says” early next year, the vinyl test pressing was successful – and the band just popped a third preview track up on their Bandcamp called “Physician, Heal Thyself”.
Tinmouth – This is what you call a power trio, Tinmouth’s angular indie rock jams aren’t fancied up with loop stations and keyboard sounds. There’s a place for that stuff, absolutely, What we’ve got is a booming, ballsy bass from Aaron Sternick; over on the drums, a rhythmic machine who goes by the name of Alyssa Shea; and leading the band, Timothy Tebordo, whose guitar lines and feedback walls add color and detail to the blend.
In terms of sound, these folks hit hard; in terms of songwriting, they look to the DIY scene of the 80s, channeling Yo La Tengo, Mission of Burma and a little bit of R.E.M. It’s poppy, but properly punchy, offering some grit with the sweet. Their debut LP Says is out early next year, and you should make it a point to see Tinmouth live the next opportunity you can.
