TAPES 'N TAPES

Mine kjære Indierockere. Nå var det på tide med noe nytt og fargerikt, og jeg tok derfor turen innom platekompaniet for å kikke etter noen lovende band. Plutselig får jeg øye på en cd med en ganske så fargerik layout. Denne måtte jeg prøve ut! Mine damer og herrer, gutter og jenter:

"Tapes'n Tapes"

Walk It Off

Utgitt:
2008
Sjanger:

Indierock

Omtale: For its second full-length outing, 2008's WALK IT OFF, the lauded Minneapolis-based indie-rock ensemble Tapes `n Tapes enlisted the help of prolific producer Dave Fridmann, who has also worked with the fellow Minnesotan act Low. Rather than going for an ornate and elaborate sophomore album, the group opted to keep things lean and mean, largely sticking to its edgy guitar-driven sound. While Josh Grier still sings in a Frank Black/David Byrne yelp, Tapes' restless alt-rock aesthetic is intriguingly fluid, masterfully picking up on nuances from numerous 1980s/'90s artists, yet never seeming derivative. Highlights include the urgently funky "Hang Them All" and the sinister "Demon Apple," a track that could have fit seamlessly on Echo & the Bunnymen's PORCUPINE.

Anbefales.
