The Trypes

Playing moody, psychedelic-influenced folk-rock with a distinctive instrumental pallete, the Trypes are often thought of as a side project of the Feelies, due to the participation of several key members of that band. However, the Trypes were a functioning unit before Feelies leaders Glenn Mercer and Bill Million joined the group, and the group's founders would enjoy a long and productive career after Mercer and Million began pursuing other projects. In 2012, Acute Records released a Trypes collection, Music for Neighbors, which collected the material from the EP The Explorer's Hold, a rare compilation track, and a number of unreleased demo recordings. ~ Mark Deming
