TAPES N TAPES - The Loon

TAPES N TAPES

The Loon
Xl Recordings
INDIE

From Minneapolis, Minnesota (the 'city of lakes') comes a surprisingly weird and wonderful musical collective, who are both eclectic and indispensable: TAPES N TAPES.

Originally released late last year on the band's own label and distributed out of their bedrooms, 'The Loon' is now released to greater fanfare on XL RECORDINGS.

Already one of the "bands to watch" this year, TAPES N TAPES manage to combine a seemingly disparate group of influences into one of the best debut albums of the year. If you're a fan of PAVEMENT or CLAP YOUR HANDS AND SAY YEAH, TALKING HEADS or THE PIXIES then you will have a place in your heart & mind for this band.

NME "Providing the hype to be aptly justified with some of the most charming, whimsical, blue-collar indie rock we've ever had the good fortune to hear. Their ascendant star soars now" ...COKEMACHINEGLOW "'The Loon' is nothing short of an incredibly focused song suite".
