Far Reaches

Twelve inch vinyl pressing. Trin Tran: The one-man band without a plan, hurtling through the songiverse without a map or compass. For years now, Trin Tran has been creeping out from deep space (Americas Midwest) and bouncing songs off satellites. These transmissions are a testament to his lovely weirdness. This 2014 EP is an injection of strange-pop less garage than his recent full-length on Ty Segall's imprint God? Records and more the bastard child of Duran Duran and Bruce Haack. Riskier vocal delivery, heavier synths. Stronger, swifter, silver-er. Mute Records would have licked their glossy lips over this meal in the early 80s. Recorded by Eric Landmark of San Francisco scrap-synth alums Numbers and Ricky Reimer of Madison, WI, angularities Transformer Lootbag, mixed and mastered by John Dietrich of Deerhoof, Far Reaches truly harkens from the 6th Dimension. It's a new era for the mask and it's one-man armada.
