Brooklyn-based band Tiergarten marries the power rock guitar sound of the 90’s (think Failure and Screaming Trees) with the lush melodicism and harmonic complexity of shoegaze. Their latest single “Paradigm” (streaming) is characterized by tonal and dynamic shifts reminiscent of the loud/quiet/loud days of grunge. Second single “Aerons (Infinity Glow),” on the other hand, veers towards shoegaze with droney guitar parts and Alex Von Klemperer’s drawn-out vocals. The band’s debut EP ‘Magnificent Desolation’ is set to be self-released on June 17th, and release celebrations are scheduled for June 15th at Union Pool. – John Honan
