[INDIE] It’s been three years in the making, but The Tins will release their new, self titled full length album this Friday, June 1 with a CD release show at Lockhouse Distillery. The band released the first single from the record, “Sundried Mind” earlier this month. The track, a sunny indie rock tune with a shifting, psychedelic foundation, is a microcosm of the record as a whole, which is a cohesive blend of dreamy indie pop, garage rock, and fuzzy 1960s inspired-rock with a Bruce Springsteen cover thrown in for good measure. 

The album was recorded mostly at GCR studio with the Goo Goo Dolls Robby Takac at the helm as producer and audio mixer Ted Young—who has worked with artists like Kurt Vile, Mick Jagger, and Andrew W.K.—at the boards. Buffalo-based visual artist Philip Burke, whose work—usually colorful, psychedelic, illustrations—has been featured extensively in Rolling Stone magazine over the years, created the artwork for the album. “We feel really good about [this record],” says drummer Dave Muntner. “We were distanced from the music but now we’re relearning the songs to play them live in a new way and so we’re having a new relationship with the music. It feels good.”
