        Release Notes:

        It's no surprise Tripwires spent the last six years refining their sound
        in Reading. Being from a truly sleepy commuter town has let the band
        develop their debut album, the aptly titled 'Spacehopper', on their own
        terms.  Or as the longtime friends (frontman Rhys Edwards, guitarist Joe
        Stone, bassist Ben White and drummer Sam Pilsbury) put it, "A lot of
        people live here a couple years for work and then move on. For us, it's
        been a great place to write music. Not as a direct result of the
        environment around us, but in a way that's encouraged us to provide our
        very own soundtrack to growing up."

        As for what that entails, the group is quick to name-check everyone from
        Neil Young and Yo La Tengo to the Flaming Lips and Sonic Youth. Not to
        mention countless strains of Krautrock and the two albums they can all
        agree on: Talk Talk's 'Spirit of Eden' and '666', a demented double LP
        from the Vangelis-led Aphrodite's Child collective. While those artists
        may read like randomly selected record store references, Tripwires'
        debut album doesn't quote anything directly. Subconsciously maybe, but
        never as a nod to anyone but themselves, whether they're sampling
        interstellar static ('Slow Mo'), dodging dollops of feedback
        ('Plasticine'), or floating through power chords and thunder-clapped
        storm clouds ('Spacehopper') all created at the Rare Book Room studio in
        New York by Deerhunter and Animal Collective producer Nicolas Verhnes.

        "The main strength of this band is our closeness as friends," they
        explain when asked about the individual strengths of each member. "It's
        allowed us to stay strong as a unit, with very little influence from
        people on the outside. It's pretty hard for anyone to worm their way in
        and gain our trust."

        That explains how Tripwires went from covering Slipknot-hey, we were all
        young once-during their lunch break at school to slowly but surely
        hovering in the stratosphere between pedal-pushing shoegaze pop and
        pressure-cooked psych rock. And if the nearly eight minutes of
        experimentation that went into 'Tinfoil Skin' are any indication,
        they're not done fine-tuning their tracks yet either. Not even a little
        bit.

        "We've always joked that we wanted parts of our songs to sound like a
        hairdryer to the face," they explain. "Having said that, we're really
        interested in exploring how simple and stripped-back we can make things,
        using both approaches to make things sound as diverse as possible while
        still sounding like 'us'."
