After wowing us with their Affectations EP last year LA based musicians Lauren Andino and Glenn Fryatt return with a new single, ‘Dark Glasses’. This band have been out on two full US tours pulling material together for a full-length album later in the year. Until then they are teasing us with another serving of the shoegaze / dream pop sound they have made all their own.
Foe those of you new to Tremours you may be wondering what kind of band they are. Here’s what they have to say on the matter.
“Most of our songs centre around loneliness. Not necessarily sadness, but the comfort that you can find in being lonely. It’s when I feel most calm. Live, we have been told that it can be intense, I have no choice but to let go and trust Glenn when we are playing. This is the only band where I’ve had to do that, and I think that’s where our intense stage dynamic comes from — focusing and trusting one another,”
‘Dark Glasses’ really amps up the drama with Andino’s ghostly vocal drifting over an ominous guitar line. Fryatt’s drumming both sympathetic to the guitar and full of character in its own right. This is only amplified by the psychedelic Moog that brings the whole song together. It’s the secret sauce to this recipe. The swirling, pulsating textures send this song soaring.
‘Dark Glasses’ is a bold step on from the sound on the Affectations EP and bodes well for the album later this year. The single is backed with a Kosmische remix courtesy of Peter Holmström (Pete International Airport) of the Dandy Warhols.
‘Dark Glasses’ will be released July 7 2023 via Little Cloud Records. The tracks will be available digitally on all platforms and on 7″ colour vinyl which you can grab from the Tremours Bandcamp page.
In the meantime, check out the amazing video which was shot and directed by Carlos Colón in the Mojave Desert.
