Tape

This is the eagerly-awaited third album from the Stockholm-based trio of Tape, comprised of Andreas and Johan Berthling and Tomas Hallonsten. Gently exploring the soft realms of electro-acoustic sound, their world is located somewhere between experimental music and instrumental pop, and with this release, a new chapter has been written in the history of Tape. This album gives us a clearer structure, a sharper sound and the songs take more time to evolve. With Rideau, Tape shows that they are masters of their craft. Tape has been recognized internationally for their music where electronic sounds blend with acoustic and all sorts of instruments and site-specific recordings create the most fantastic melodies. For the first time they have chosen to work with a producer: Marcus Schmickler from Germany, a musician, producer and composer with a broad range. Solo, he makes noise music and pop in the group Pluramon with Julee Cruise and composes contemporary music for choir. Rideau promises to be a follow-up that will reveal an even more considered, meticulously craft-conscious side of Tape, with loads of experiments and accidents that translate into glorious, trembling sound.
