Tapes 'N Tapes

w/ Broken Spindles & Touch People

Tapes ‘n Tapes’ signature sound is distinctly their own concoction; the shaky vocals, the bursts of low-fi guitars and the haunting keyboards. They recorded their debut album, The Loon, in summer 2005 with producer/engineer Erik Appelwick. Ibid Records released The Loon that fall. Positive reviews of The Loon and the band’s consistent gigging — which included a winter 2006 East Coast tour and an appearance at that year’s South by Southwest — led to Tapes ‘n Tapes signing with XL Records. XL re-released The Loon in summer 2006. In 2007, Tapes ‘n Tapes recorded with producer Dave Fridmann at his Buffalo, NY studio; the band’s second album Walk it Off arrived the following spring.
