Three's Co.

描述

Lazy rock classicists in the spirit of the Byrds or the Beach Boys, the third album from The Tyde sees these young Los Angeles songsmiths delving further into the sunshine-flecked orchestral pop that made its predecessors, 2001’s Once and 2003’s Twice such slow-burning statements. Built around the husband-wife team of Darren and Ann Do Rademaker--whose swells of synthesiser, mellotron, and Wurlitzer are the secret heart to these sunny-disposition surfer’s anthems--Three’s Co is light, optimistic and immediately engaging. Numbers like "Do It Again Again" and "Too Many Kims" imagine a Brian Wilson content to turn up and crank out the odd lo-fi anthem in his garage, while the rambunctious "Brock Landers" offers up a notable guest spot in the shape of Conor Deasy, frontman of The Tyde’s transatlantic soulmates The Thrills. The dreamy "Glassbottom Lights" is the album’s most flat-out beautiful number, however, Rademaker’s breathy vocal caught on an updraft of wispy synth and Byrds-eque guitar in a distant echo of Primal Scream’s classic "Velocity Girl". --Louis Pattison
