Tyvek - Fast Metabolism

Fast Metabolism by Tyvek

3...according to our on Wed 16 Nov, 2011.

This record is a collection of Tyvek's earliest, rawest singles and recordings. They have a sloppy sound, that makes you think of an early Fall, but with less talented more Yankee (obviously!) sounding shouty vocals. The songs are vitriolic, and ramshackle to THE MAX!! Yet they have quite a playful quality that is quite endearing (for about two minutes.) Then the crappy drum takes and guitars played by cats in a barrel start to really grate on your ear-pipes. It's probably just me but sometimes if I hear a band falling through a gaping hole in their own song or album it makes me feel a little intolerant and insane with blistering rage. The track called “Honda” is probably my favourite though. A perplexing and maddening listen, one for fans of TYVEK...

At long last, the vinyl debut of this flawless compilation of Tyvek's early singles. Unstoppable, much like a juggernaut or an avalanche. An avalanche of hits! People have been asking us about this record for over two years now, so we're really excited to finally have it here. Deluxe tip-on sleeve, with lyrics for the first time! Issued in conjunction with our comrades at Water Wing Records in Portland, a subsidiary of Mississippi Records! Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk and Bob Weston for maximum scree and scrum.
