The Helium Tapes isn't wasting any time. The band released its self-titled debut last fall and now, a mere fourteen months later, the excellent Ghost Wave capitalizes on that album's hallmarks - minor-key psych-pop, fuzz-bombed guitar leads and sweet-and-sour female vocals - while tightening and refining its approach.
