Visits

VINYL FORMAT. On Visits, Tammar pulls of a pretty incredible trick with each and every one of its post-punk anthems, probably something of which the band doesn't take much note. They mine the classic sounds of paranoia, malaise, and misanthropy, and fill it with so much exuberance and joy of playing that each song becomes a triumph over anxiety and ennui. Visits finds each of the band's five members stepping outside of themselves, but no in a snake-poison-ingesting, flopping-on-the-floor sense. It's something else, something full of wonder. These songs burst and evolve like water capsule toys. Warms beds of wobbly and fat-bodied krautpop prove to be overwhelming, atmospheric art-rock tours de force. Your are left mind-blown by the whole glorious affair.
