(Editor’s Note: This
tape is available for purchase though the Bridgetown Records official website,
but I cannot find it on Band Camp for some reason. As of my typing this, there are six copies
available)
When I
first started playing this tape it made a weird clicking noise. I couldn’t tell if it was intentional or if
it was trying to destroy the very fiber of my tape player and/or the tape
itself. That made me a little hesitant to continue
listening to this tape, but I waited it out and by the second song the noise
has disappeared.
So,
either a) It was an intentional part of the song or b) that part of the tape is
just wonky. In either case, I am no
longer afraid to play the tape so there’s that.
The
sound itself on this tape is somewhere along the lines of High Pop almost, with
that indie pop default almost to twee type of vibe. It’s quite good and also the type of music
you should appreciate on cassette.
The
best part about this tape (for me at least) is in one song there is a lyric
about getting ready for a date that says “You plucked your mustache”. Let the seeds forever be planted for the
debate that bleaching a mustache just gives you the appearance of Robin Hood
and doesn’t make it invisible.
