    Fortunately, adding more shape to their songs doesn't pin down their sounds too much.

    Tender New Signs makes the listener work a little harder within Tamaryn's framework, but it rewards as much, if not more, than the walls of noise threatening to hem them in just a few years ago.

    Nothing wrong with clearly highlighting your influences, although you do run the risk of reminding listeners why said influences are better.
