History

Tyvek was founded by songwriter/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Kevin Boyer in 2004. [1] After releasing several 7" singles for the labels X, What's Your Rupture?, M'Lady's Records, S-S, and Sub Pop, the band issued their self-titled debut album through Siltbreeze in 2009. In 2010, Tyvek released the demo LP Skyin, and their first album for In the Red, Nothing Fits. 2011 saw the release of their next album, Fast Metabolism. The band followed up with On Triple Beams in 2012. After several limited cassettes on Boyer's Doubles Tapes label, Tyvek returned to In the Red in 2016 with the album, Origin of What.

By 2017, the band settled into a regular lineup consisting of Boyer, guitarist Shelley Salant, drummer Fred Thomas, and bassist Alex Glendening. Salant's Ginkgo Records released the band's next studio album, Overground, in 2023
