Hollow Tide (Madison, Wisconsin's Grant McAndrew) brings together the chaotic roar of angular guitars with the lo-fi sensibilities of venerated artists like Duster and Le Rug. The record's manifold twists and turns manifest themselves in unexpected ways. From the soothing opening guitar lines of "Temple" to its cymbal-crashing coda, from the Alex G-inspired noodling on "Slow" to the pensive acoustic closer "Sick and Tired," Hollow Tide cements himself as a compelling musician (Grant playing everything on the record himself) in the rich tradition of visionary lo-fi songwriters. For fans of artists such as Alex G, Beach Fossils and Alex Calder. LLR-078
