Track:
I eat music. I consume it and never get full. And in this day and age where there is more and more music which is easier to find, sample, and consume, somehow there seems to be less and less that leaves me feeling satisfied, much less full. Whether this is because there are more lackluster musicians, or that unpolished music gets out there easier than in the past, or just because the stakes are constantly being raised by the musicians that break new ground and push the art forward, I'm not sure. All I know is the need to feed my addiction, the frustration of being bored with the music I have and not being able to find something new to set my ears a buzzin', and the intense pleasure and contentedness when I happen upon something wonderful, something that I end up wanting to listen to over and over. The rare gems. Tapes 'n Tapes is a rare gem. Their debut full-length The Loon travels to many places and brings references in mind to various great artists at times, but always stays unique. A second full length album should not be far off, and I dare to hope it will bring us more addiction worthy tunes.
