Tyvek - Origin Of What

Release Date:11/04/2016;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. 2016 release. Tyvek have long stood as one of the more steadfast and dependable punk institutions of the last decade. Each record has been great and has improved on the one before it without struggling to reinvent or overwrite their past. Line-ups and life events shift but the energy always comes through as new and raw as it did on the first single. Origin of What, their fourth album, is something of a departure, if a cryptic one all the familiar elements are in place and yet a pervasive darkness that these strangely disjointed songs. Working again with Fred Thomas who recorded their most recent album, 2012 burner On Triple Beams, band members from the earliest incarnations to it's most recent showed up for various recording sessions, with initial tracks captured quickly. Later, far more extensive editing, mixing and overdubbing ensued, resulting in a fragmented production style that slowly disintegrates the standard punk fare until it starts to resemble dub experimentation before decaying even further. Tyvek's future, like it's origin, is up for grabs.;Track List:1. Tip to Tail;2. Can't Exist;3. Girl on a Bicycle;4. Gridlock;5. Mirror Image of;6. Count Me in;7. Into the Outlets;8. Origin of What;9.
