Tape Tuesday: Elder “Through Zero”

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.

This Tape Just In: Purity Olympics “impossible feburary in d minor”


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.

This Tape Just In: “Winter Dreamz” from Cold Camp

One of the most unique rappers I have ever heard is on Cold Camp. You will know it when you hear him. I can’t decide if I think he is rad or not… ok, no, wait, I have decided… he is rad – been in my head all week.

Cold Camp’s (from Calgary) latest album, Winter Dreamz, was just released earlier this year.

Interesting feature of the tape itself, the B Side is the instrumental version of the album – very cool.
