Contrary to what the deflated 1971 version of Brain Wilson claimed, surf's definitely not up. At least not for longboard-loving, wave-watching band the Tyde and leader Darren Rademaker, who has once again plumbed the wells of inspiration to come up with tunes that can evoke joyful innocence or bitter disenchantment at every (point) break.

Three's Co., the third Tyde album (natch), arrives August 29 through the sun-kissed U.S. limb of Rough Trade UK's bloodless body. This time around a handful of past collaborators and new faces join the core duo of Darren and Ann Do Rademaker, including Darren's brother and Beachwood Sparks' Brent Rademaker, the ageless pop wonder Ric Menck, Conor Deasy of Irish west-coast sympathizers the Thrills, and Mickey Madden of the megaselling Maroon 5. The album has been out in the UK for a few months, but the U.S. copy will include two remixes: "Glassbottom Lights" by Jimmy Tamborello as James Figurine (Dntel, the Postal Service) and "Don't Need a Leash" by Nobody. Full tracklist after the break.

Meanwhile, the band will follow up the release of Three's Co. by skylarking on tour. The upcoming stretch will see the Tyde play a bunch of notable dates close to home, spread further east with the Black Angels, rock an in-store, headline the second installment of Club NME (L.A. style) and get its "Dig" on, with both the Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Dandy Warhols. There should also be an appearance at the gnarlacious CMJ Music Marathon in November to be confirmed soon. Get your toes on the nose at the following, even if you're a hodad:
