Following the success of Tercel’s first Tiny Towns debut single in May 2024, the Wilmington, North Carolina quartet (seen above) has returned with a second Holiday single that pierces your innermost being WITH IT’S JANGLY INTENSITY.
Commencing with a jangled riff that has a Lost Ships or the Radio Field early 90s type of clarity, the first vocal drop consumes the sound with a gloriously manic Garbage meets The Cure off-kilter vocal mania and a musical aesthetic that juxtaposes the jangly indie-rock/post punk aesthetic of RGV and DIIV with the jangle rock/punk edges of The Wends and Ryan Allen and his Extra Arms dynamism.
I am not sure whether the release of these two singles so close to each other signals a full-length release is coming soon… I can only hope!
