The Loon

Tapes n' Tapes' startling and sparkling debut album 'The Loon' represents the new indie hopes and music's future mavericks...

"You will not be able to tear yourself away from this album. This is no daringly outrageous, Kid A-esque "progressive” music that nobody really enjoys listening to. This is rock 'n roll.”
- Delusions Of Adequacy

"First must-listen album of the year.”
- Lost At Sea

From the 'City of Lakes' [Minneapolis, Minnesota] far, far away comes a surprisingly weird and wonderful musical heritage, both eclectic and indispensable. This legacy continues in the present day, with the new wave of obscenely talented whipper-snappers forming, making beautiful music and spreading their talents worldwide. We're referring to, of course, none other than Tapes n' Tapes.

It seems the world is calling out for "…left-of-centre, experimental indie…” [NME], something "…as loveable as it is bewildering…” [Rolling Stone] and something that touches on our heroes: the basement indie of Pavement, the eclecticism of Talking Heads and frenzied power of the Pixies, but offers not some populist pastiche but a vital, thrilling and unique blast of energy and melody.

This intelligent, full-on indie DIY 4-piece have produced a seriously groundbreaking album in 'The Loon'. Highly recommended!
