All very loving and sweet. It’s described as “a statement of innocence and hope”, and I totally agree.
The world is incredibly intense right now; I felt like I got a break from that by listening to this tape.
Favorite side is A. There are only 100 of these, and all of them include an eight-panel foldout that is easy on the eyes. Check out the Bandcamp to order one.
More Sansyou tape releases can be found here.
I am enjoying having this blog more and more; now I am even getting demo tapes.
Indie folk, bedroom pop, demo tape called “Pisces” that was sent to me from a cool dude in Southern California who goes by Pisces, in fact.
Sounds like some nice songs to me. I will be watching/listening for a finished album version in the future. But for now, there are only 50 copies of Pisces Demo, and I have one, so there are only 49 at the most. Get one for yourself.
Pisces is on the label, Hospital Soap.
Thank you for the tape, Casey!
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:
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.

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.

Cold Camp is on Hand’Solo Records out of Toronto, CA.

“I Have to Be Part of It” by Camo Meal
This album, it’s like a good bowl of chili or menudo. You’re not exactly sure what everything in it is or where it comes from, but it still manages to be good.
There are hooks and soulful softness that Camo seems to purposely take a hammer and crowbar to, in a good way.
He knows how to write songs, got bored with that, and made this. And I like it.
Favorite tracks:
Only 50 of the cassettes exist. I am happy to have one.
