Music for Neighbors

The New Jersey towns of Haledon and Hoboken may not have the same mythical status as Beatles Liverpool or Velvets New York City, but in the early-1980s, a group of high school friends came together there to form a shifting network of bands that would be referred to as "the stuff of legend and cults." The Trypes emerged from this scene, playing hauntingly beautiful, baroquely arranged psychedelic rock music. Acute Record's newest release, Music for Neighbors, gathers their contributions to the "Hoboken Sound."
