This blog is mostly dormant. I still review occasional cassettes and zines. Why The Tapes Play Records was a cottage industry indie music label releasing very limited run cassettes, & cds. The label is on hiatus as of 2020, as much of our lives has been on hold and focused on matters of heart, survival, and spiritual nurturance. Why The Tapes Play may return in the future.

Mixt Media Review: Archaic Fetishism Vol. 3 (tape)
Tape culture is alive & well at the DIY music label Edible Onion. To be honest, I didn't care much for the thrash & dirge of side A of Archaic Fetishism Volume 3, but side B soothed my aching ears. Side two starts off with "Helicopters" by A Stick & a Stone, a subdued indie folk piece full of ghostly harmonics that would make Sufjan Stevens proud. The Horror The Horror follows in a similar sonic vein with a dreamlike cover of Brian Reichert's song "I Like People." This tape is limited to 100 copies, and well worth seeking out for Side B alone.
