Weekly mp3 #74: Tape - Root Tattoo

Get this from Tape's lovely label, Häpna. Scroll past the purchase links to reach the nine (!) free Tape downloads.

Acoustic guitar, a melodica melody, a touch of twangy slide guitar. Maybe a degraded recording of birds outside, or just a funny synth noise. A hesitant touch of xylophone later on. Touches of feedback and distortion kept way down in the mix. That's all we need.

Tape are a Swedish three-piece, and used to have a rather lovely website, with lots of contents, which they've wisely ditched in favour of myspace. NICE. They've released plenty of albums and seem to be quite distinctive in the world of instrumental rock music, in that they're not awful.
