Tyler Ballgame - For the First Time, Again (orange marbled)

Tyler Ballgame, the latest addition to the always recommendable Rough Trade label, debuts with For The First Time, Again, a luminous collection of 12 songs rooted in classic rock, indie, and American music, produced by Jonathan Rado (Foxygen, Lemon Twigs, Weyes Blood) and Ryan Pollie (Los Angeles Police Department).

Melodies that sound immediately familiar, yet are surprisingly original, in a perceptive and provocative album that promises to please all fans of Tobias Jesso Jr., Cass McCombs, Jeff Tweedy, Roy Orbison, or Harry Nilsson.
