THE TRYPES

The Explorers Hold

(Coyote) Used LP $50.00

“This Feelies spinoff adds woodwinds and keyboards to the parent group’s usual guitar-dominated sound. The influence of the Velvet Underground is very pronounced on this EP, especially on ‘Morning Glories’ (with its rumbling tom-toms, trancelike piano / bass / guitar texture, and agreeably Moe Tucker-ish vocals) and ‘Music for Neighbors’ (an episodic instrumental consisting of process-like repeated fragments).” 1984 pressing.

YO LA TENGO

Ride The Tiger

(Coyote) Used LP $40.00 (Out-of-stock)

The debut album from 1986 by this long-running trio of Velvet Underground and Kinks devotees sticks to Schramm-powered sharp-edged jangle that favors melodicism and noise. Immediate and unforced, produced by Mission Of Burma’s Clint Conley. Clipped corner.
