Our Take

TRIPWIRES' latest offering, "Spacehopper," is like taking a ride on a psychedelic rocket ship through the cosmos of indie rock. This album is a whirlwind of dreamy melodies, fuzzy guitar riffs, and ethereal vocals that will have you floating through the stratosphere in no time.

From the opening track, "Lunar Lullaby," to the epic closer, "Cosmic Carousel," TRIPWIRES take us on a sonic journey that is as unpredictable as it is exhilarating. Each song is a kaleidoscope of sound, blending elements of shoegaze, post-punk, and space rock into a deliciously weird and wonderful concoction.

The band's musicianship is top-notch, with intricate guitar work and dynamic drumming propelling each song forward. The production on "Spacehopper" is equally impressive, with layers of reverb and distortion creating a dense and immersive sonic landscape that is both otherworldly and strangely comforting.

While some tracks may veer into slightly self-indulgent territory, overall, "Spacehopper" is a triumphant and joyous celebration of all things weird and wonderful in the world of indie rock. So buckle up, dear listeners, and prepare for a mind-bending journey through the outer reaches of musical imagination with TRIPWIRES as your cosmic guides. Happy travels!
