Reviews:

From The Wire (Byron Coley):
Two-man Factums offshoot from Seattle, who used to be called Pyramids. They manage a pretty great recreation of grustly UK DIY sputum at its most stripmined. The press sheet refers to such titans as The Prats and The Urinals (admittedly a US group, but you get the idea) and this hyperbole is not entirely misplaced. Has some weird SO 36 vibes, but it's all good.

From Maximum Rock'n'Roll (Mitch Cardwell):
Sweet Rot can pick them. Immediately prior to this release, LOVE TAN was known as PYRAMIDS (still says so on the labels!), but opted out for a moniker as puzzling as their tunes. What we have here is the perfect mid-point between pop and experimentation. There's a vague UK DIY-ear sound and rhythm meshed with a fine pop-psych sensibility. Shit gets boomy here and there, just to keep you on your toes. From the Pacific Northwest and bearing quite a few connections to that A-FRAMES lot, should that sweeten the pot.

From Terminal Boredom (Rich Kroneiss):
Love Tan are the two-piece formerly known as The Pyramids (which was a great name, who gives a fuck about any other limpdickers with the same moniker, should've asserted your claim fellas...) with their debut single via Vancouver's Sweet Rot label. They pack six songs onto this, which should give everyone a taste of what they're capable of and leave 'em drooling for the full length upcoming on Kill Shaman (they also had a cassette release rumored that I don't think ended up happening). One of these dudes is also a Factum (and ex-Intelligence) which should hint at their sounds a bit, but only a bit, as they spread their wings wide thoroughout this half-dozen. At times they could be placed beside Ohsees and Sic Alps via their lo-fi neo-psychpop talents ("This Land Is No Good" and the accompanying falsetto vox or "Brush Your Teeth" and it's playful bedroom guitar rock). They show more range than just that record-review shoehorning however. "Berlin Rumble Part One" builds a creepy little Factums-like droner on guitar pluck lifted from the Night Gallery theme, "Horse" is reminiscent of minimal A-Frames rhythmical-drone shattered by blasts of drumbash and snakey guit-slide and they close up shop with "Ring Ring" that brings to mind the mean and twisted Anglo-pop of Tronics. This one should be a smash and bridges the gap nicely between cutting edge West Coast scenes (Seattle and the Bay Area, sort of A-Frames meets latter-day Sic Alps) with a post-punk UK angle. Scum stats: 100 on white, 400 on black, again, beautiful textured paper pocket sleeves.

From Dusted (Doug Mosurak):
So the record calls the band Pyramids, but the sleeve and everything else say otherwise. Catchy scrawlings by a two-piece gtr/drm duo (one MF and one CC, not that CC though, or even the other CC). Reminds me of Times New Viking circa now, with less anthems and more wander, Fall/C. Teasers style. Uptight melodies and a good amount of guitar torture. Six songs really spell it out for you, possibly too specific for you, but I'm finding something to like about each one here. A good idea sometimes, at least for one release, is to pick a style and stick with it. Love Tan are smart enough to know how to mix it up within those constraints to keep themselves (and us) entertained. Nice one.
