I have to tell you, I am enjoying getting tapes sent to me (this goober music blogger’s dream). I recently got three different ones sent. First being…
The Nausea: Requiem
So genius how Requiem can create a tense build that somehow keeps going. I can attest that it is good background music for writing or any damn thing really.
Requiem is out of Vancouver BC, and being a fan of the Vancouver Canucks hockey team, I am thinking this would make for some pretty epic tension music before an important puck drop. Very cinematic.
At the time of posting this, there are still tapes available.
Sansyou: Spaces In Between
Sansyou took care in creating a nice tape package, including putting it all on cobalt II tape, six page insert and PICKS! Yes I got some picks in the case. Nice atmosphere music too.
Sansyou runs out of DC. There are still cassettes of Spaces In Between available on Sansyou’s Bandcamp page.
ShangGORIL La Records
Such a bummer dude. This package from ShanGORIL La Records came open and empty. I am curious what made all the little dots on it. All the way from Hong Kong too and it cost them over $30 just to send it.
I don’t know what tape they sent me, but maybe it was Gateless Garden:
Nothing like a good cello tape to class up your day. Check out all of ShanGORIL La Records artists on their Bandcamp page.
