Das Debüt von Tape Deck Mountain handelt von Geistern und Klausuren. Das Trio aus San Diego mag Effektpedale und überraschenderweise Danzig. Über das aufstrebende Label Lefse haben wir unlängst berichtet. Eine der vielversprechendsten Bands des kalifornischen Labels ist Tape Deck Mountain. Das Trio vermischt auf seinem Debüt "Ghost" Shoegaze mit jazzig-postrockigen Klängen. Dass Tape Deck Mountain [...]

I am publishing this, then driving to Portland. This is normally a 5-6 hour drive, but being the biggest travel day of the year, it will be double that. Thank God for other people's podcasts. *Update 12:00 - Ok, somehow, the drive only took 6 hours. How? I've seriously done that drive, like, 10 times, on Thanksgiving Eve, and it's been Hell on Earth, all the way through Washington. Did they fix Seattle? Or is unemployment so high that enough people had the freedom to do their traveling before today, leaving the roads unclogged for me? [...]
more about " New Tape Deck Mountain Video - "Scant... ", posted with vodpod From the work of San Diego native Travis Trevisan. Laid off from his job almost a year ago, Trevisan took full advantage of this free time in crafting Tape Deck's debut album, Ghost . Tape Deck Mountain - Scantrons

We posted Tape Deck Mountain's "Bat Lies" and "Ghost Colony" at the beginning of October, but I clearly had "Scantrons" on my mind: I like the way "Scantrons" ushers in Tape Deck Mountain's Ghost , "an album about being a ghost, thinking you're a ghost, dreaming you're a ghost, being a ghost, and getting good grades in school." You get a waft of jangling Spaceman 3 echoes via these San Diego dudes going on about passing out multiple-choice fill-in-the-bubble tests and then things shift. This video literalizes the lyrics. We see the guys [...]

der start in die mp3 runde dieses tages mit herzerfrischender härte, rottiger kühle: "action in the north atlantic" heißt das werk der band aus halifax (auf noyes records ), tobendes meer, gute und passende vorstellung: a history of - action in the north atlantic a history of - dagger woods klingt wie eine mischung aus 22 pistepirkko und the cure, naja, jedenfalls ein ausblick auf das im januar erscheinende "teen dream", im übrigen wie verrückt das ist: die promofirma [...]

This edition of the Graboid is all about the unknown, as I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't heard about many of these releases (I haven't, at least). Though, there are a few notable names scattered throughout including MF Doom and Ola Podrida . There is one album that I highly recommend checking out, which is Received Pronunciation , the fourth release from Pants Yell! which also marks their debut with Slumberland Records. As always, feel free to recommend anything I may have left off! [...]
