Named after a popular brand of synthetic home-siding, Detroit lo-fi garage rockers Tyvek
started gaining recognition in 2008 alongside fellow noise poppers
Vivian Girls, Times New Viking, and Eat Skull. After recording a
multitude of singles and 7"s for the labels X, What's Your Rupture,
M'Lady's Records, S-S, and Subpop, the band took a year to record their
first full-length, which was scheduled for release on Siltbreeze in
spring of 2009. The band's release date was postponed for undisclosed
reasons and the band underwent a name change (likely pressured by the
threat of copyright infringement from Dupont); switching to TVK and
Tijvek before settling on Tvyek. The band ramped up in 2010, releasing
the demo LP Skyin and their first album for In the Red, Nothing Fits. ~ Jason Lymangrover, Rovi

With their recent split with Naked on the Vague acting as a dip into pop's waters; Wet Hair's follow up, In Vogue Spirit
is practically a jump into the pool. The band's most accessible batch
of tunes to date boil with Krautrock rhythms, buzzing synths, and a new
focus on vocals that has previously been mostly absent in the band's
back catalog. It's not all motion and melody here though, the band still
retains their experimental spirit, giving the record plenty of teeth to
sink into any of those rising hooks. Along with contemporaries
Lumerians and Moon Duo; In Vogue Spirit stands to gain a pretty solid footing in 2011's nod to the German progressive underground. The video for "Echo Lady" conveys the band's psychedelic aesthetic with shifting shots of glare and kaleidoscopic nature walks.
