My Favorite Tracks off Specials 2 (if I am forced to choose):
Best Side: A
All very familiar but still original. Warm, safe, nostalgic but fresh somehow.
Perfect music to back a slide show of old family photos.
A quite fetching j-card too.
Pasquale Specials 2 is off Hand’ Solo Records.

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!
There is a little bit of Space Mountain Late Night feel happening. And I like it.
Plays at the edge of mysterious.
At times, it is what my brain sounds like after seven beers.
It may be only four tracks, but two of them are very long, so you’re good. Hauntingly good.
Order of the Wire Mother is an experimental, harsh, transcendental noise outfit out of Minneapolis. They are on the Bumpy Records label.
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.
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.
