Come along with Sean, exploring back alleys and vacant buildings, with his fingerstyle guitar playing. “Let Peace Brood Over This Carcass: Rust Belt Guitar Soli” is a collection recorded on a digital 8-track between 2022 and 2025, remastered for cassette. It is a limited run; only 100 tapes exist.
Some of my favorite tracks include:
Sean Hendley is out of Milwaukee, WI.
Label: Gnostic Recordings.
Lo-Fi experimental bedroom pop from New York. Only 50 tapes exist, and I am lucky enough to have #33.
Favorite Tracks:
Let go, have some fun, let Bonce comfort you.
Bonus: I love that he has a neocites site.
The album “a veil, a prism” by alone-a
One line review:
Music that is shaped into care for something deep inside you.
Good tape to have on:
Favorite tracks:
Currently, the cassette is available for only $5.
This tape was put out by Bumpy Records.
Great lines. Accessible but still edgy. A perfect mix of old and current hip-hop. I listened through, non-stop, twice.
Favorite Tracks:
Get your mind right and check out The Honey Bear Saga from Mickey O’Brien.
This is off the label, Hand’Solo Records.
And I love the playing card-style box it comes in:
While wandering through the virtual cassette piles on Bandcamp I came across this tape from the band Elder. The album/cassette does not come out until May 29th, but you can pre-order it – tapes are limited, so it would be wise to order now if you’re interested:
Love the song, I am betting the rest of the album will be good.
Elder is from Berlin; more info on the band here.
Elder is represented by the label, Blues Funeral, in the States.
Dammit, it’s about time someone did an experimental, spoken word, jazz, art rock, pushing of bounds, album for birds and related animals! It’s finally here. Feed freely, birds.
This tape is from the band Musicians for Birds and Related Animals. They are out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. They are on Bumpy Records, also located in Minneapolis
The kind folks over at Minneapolis label, Bumpy Records, were kind enough to send over another tape. This one from Purity Olympics “impossible feburary in d minor” is an experimental escape of lucious echo-y proportions.
It is everything its soundscape, intimate self, wants so badly be. I am happy to add it to my collection.
At the moment of writing this, there is one tape left at $5 if you want to grab it.
