Tinted Windows – The Latest SuperGroup

As much of an odd paring as it initially sounds, Taylor Hanson (the middle one, yes, mmbop Hanson), Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick, Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne and the brilliant ex Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha make up Tinted Windows.

Here’s a quick look at their sound via a couple snippets. You can definitely find the full clips on YouTube, but this clip highlighted two songs, so I figured I’d link it up.

The sound is powerpop in its truest form, though Iha’s guitar sprinkles in a small amount of shoegaze with the sheer depth of the fuzz he favors.
