Friday mp3: Tapes 'n Tapes

Formed in Minnesota in 2003, Tapes 'n Tapes first came to the public's attention a year later with a self-released self-titled EP. The Loon, their first album proper came in 2005 on Ibid Records. The band then signed to XL Recordings in the UK who re-released said record to favourable sales. Walk It Off followed two years later.

Tapes 'n Tapes' musical style, it's said "varies in tempo and in influence, ranging from fast-paced polka renditions to the slower, more blues-influenced songs". Fans of Arcade Fire, White Denim, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Low, Pixies, or Kings of Leon's earlier records may be interested in their second album especially.

This track was the standout of their debut.
