This Tape Just In: The Nu-Viles

Bro this is kind of badass; one side of this tape is from the Nu-Viles 7″ “The New Wave”, and the other side is another 7″ “Get Happy”. Most pure punk bands have short songs, so you can get away with doing that with a cassette.

Sadly, this tape is sold out on the band’s Bandcamp page. Maybe if you catch the Nu-Viles on their current tour, you can convince them to find you one.

Or just keep an ear and eye out on their Bandcamp for their next release.

Both sides are some great, speedy California punk. Really enjoyed this one

This Tape Just In: “Swarm Of Tongues” Anna Johnson

I did not think I would be enjoying experimental alternative choral while writing up a blog post, but here we are.

Just got a new cassette in from Anna Johnson called Swarm Of Tongues and it is appropriately named – take that however you’d like to take it. It’s a good swarm.

Nice stuff to trip out and relax to with some adult beverages or whatever floats your moody boat.

Swarm Of Tongues was released by Somnimage.

This Tape Just In: “Every Living Thing” by Sansyou

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.

A companion cassette to this one,that is a demo/instrumental version, can be found here.


This Tape Just In: “Pisces – DEMOS” from Pisces

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!
