    PRESS for Frequency & Vibration:

    "Immersive, minimalist, cheeky and non-binding in its referentiality: noir, Morricone, desert psychedelia, Spy and a stinging Munsterslike minor bluesiness. It is concise, meticulous, pretty and weird. “Last Wave” offers maybe the record’s most memorable moody melody, “Social Station” its nastiest. Songs begin with retro evocations and end somewhere else entirely."
    -John Burdick, Almanac


    "A salty wave of tasty tangents: dreamy bachelor-pad exotica, noir-ish spy themes, twangy spaghetti Western soundtrack bait, and wordless rockabilly rumbles. "Time to Forget" and "Summer Ends" make for haunting mood music while the torrid twister "Buried Bones" will have you hangin' ten on the Hudson."
    -Peter Aaron, Chronogram

about

The Rough Shapes New York

The Rough Shapes command the great traditions of underground electric guitar music - the darker side of rockabilly, surf, spy, early rock and roll, and the cinematic mood music of Morricone.

Frequency & Vibration, plays every bit as much like a work of ambient post-rock and nightmare-leaning instrumental dream pop, by turns haunted and mysteriously sweet.
