Triptides
Shimmering beach pop perfection from Indiana’s retro lo-fi wonderkids Triptides…
After a summer spent travelling from place to place – planes, trains, camper vans, boats, beaches, forests, islands, campfires, underwater and up in the clouds – one thing remained the same the whole way through, Psychic Summer was not only the best album on the Beachtapes playuuur, it was the most played, the most shared, the most questioned, the most talked about, the most unheard of, the most surprising. It was that cool new album that you pulled out at every opportunity. A perfect and stunning debut… Album of the summer.
Psychic Summer is out now on Beachtapes as a limited edition red cassette & digital download. Get your hands on both over on the Triptides Bandcamp
