Tapes 'n Tapes ' third album finds them in the midst of a midlife crisis of sorts. The Minneapolis quartet's initial claim to fame was the blog-buzz garnered by their rustic-sounding debut, 20052s The Loon . They were hotly tipped to be the next big thing in lo-fi indie rock, following in the footsteps of the Pixies and Pavement; that was, until their fairly underwhelming 2008 followup, Walk It Off . Fans and critics alike cited the absence of The Loon 's unpolished charm and over-production as cause for complaint. And so, Tapes 'n Tapes [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Releases Back in 2005, Minneapolis quartet Tapes 'n Tapes ushered in a novel precedent when their self-released debut, 'The Loon,' got picked up by XL Recordings based on a couple of their MP3s heavily circulating music blogs. After a 2006 rerelease of 'The Loon,' Tapes 'n Tapes proved they weren't just a flash-in-the-pan buzz band with their 2008 follow-up, 'Walk It Off.' "It's a little bit of a bummer [...]

New year, new luck. I have to confess that I never was a big fan of Minneapolis based indie rock band Tapes 'N Tapes . Nevertheless I gave their newest album Outside a listen yesterday and was already caught by the rhythmic opener "Badaboom". It was love at first listen! You'll definitely hear more of this album the next weeks, not only as it's a great one but as it's also being released on January 11th via Ibid Records . mp3 | Badaboom

Tapes 'N Tapes have returned back to the spotlight with their single, "Freak Out". The Minneapolis indie rockers who were once blogging favorites, have come back to the attention of us all, with this very high quality single. The track is off their new album, "Outside" due out in January on their own label, Ibid Records. (Can't wait to listen) For this album, the band wanted total control and to make the process fun again. They recorded in their hometown and produced themselves, in order to try to achieve as natural as a sound as possible. The [...]
Photo Credit luz.de.marfilToday I'm bringing you Part 2 of Loose Lips' 2010 Wrap-Up/'Other' Best, but these songs are of a bit different nature than those I posted yesterday. After recent repeated journeys through my music library, I realized I hadn't posted nearly enough of the instrumental music I loved this year. In fact, according to Loose Lips' archives I hardly posted any. Consequently,
Here at MM we share, chat, argue, bury and praise music on a pretty regular basis…like daily. So throughout the year, the Mackerel crew (Mrs Mackerel, Barry-Sean, Christy-Popper, Dr Roddy, Polly Pocket, Starbar, MM and others) keep their own ever-changing top tens ready for publication at the climax of the festive season. Fifth in line is the indomitable lion of Hixet Wood...Mr Christy-Popper. 10. Local Natives – Airplanes ( Download here, Daytrotter Session ) The first big tune of the year for me, I sort of rediscovered this while compiling my top ten. [...]

♫ Tapes 'n Tapes- Freak Out Lately when someone spits out the term "indie rock" this song is what comes to my mind. "Freak Out" is the first single from Tapes 'n Tapes new album that is scheduled to be released January 11th, 2010. Let me tell you something... Its hard as hell these days for me to put a song on repeat, but not only has this jam defeated that pseudo barrier, but it leaves me wishing for Jan 11th. This people, is knee slappin' goodness. Bury your face in Myspace /// [...]
At some recent point in their nearly eight year history, Minneapolis indie rockers Tapes n' Tapes discovered one fundamental truism: music is best when it's fun, not so much when it's work. So, after their '08 second album Walk It Off -- larger budget, a real producer and studio, expanded distribution via London based XL label -- the band retreated to D.I.Y. status, took a breath and then set about to make the appropriately titled Outside , arriving January 11 via the band's own label. Self-financed, self-produced [...]

Ontem, você viu o clipe dessa faixa do Tapes 'N Tapes . Lançado em Novembro, o single não tinha pintado aqui, ainda. E ele vem com aquela pegada de " Insistor ", lembra? Single que dava o tom do debut " The Loon " (2006), e que o álbum seguinte " Walk it off " (2008) perdeu. Neste " Outside " (Jan/2011), quem sabe eles tenham acertado a mão, novamente. Sente só: Tapes 'N Tapes - Freak out [...]
