New Tape Drift titles out

hey everyone -

a few new Tape Drift goodies are out of the bag. Let me know if you want copies and be sure to check out the website too (www.tapedrift.com). Got copies of some of the older titles too if you need those.

(TD 12) Simon Wickham-Smith “A Seventh Persimmon”

Words are tough when it comes to describing music this astoundingly beautiful. A leading figure in the worldwide experimental music community since the early 90s, Simon Wickham-Smith adds to his sizable body of work with this masterpiece. Three tracks clocking in at almost 60 minutes, Simon’s new work is the result of years spent honing his craft. His influences are drawn from sources far and wide, but the music that results is uniquely his own. Transcending genre altogether but most clearly informed by minimalism, this release is hypnotic, mysterious, and gorgeous. If you’ve followed the arc of his career, you’ll be pleased to see how mature and powerfully focused his musical vision has become. If you’re new to his world, it’s an excellent introduction. To say that it’s an honor for us to be releasing his music would be a massive understatement. A true classic.


(TD16) Our Love Will Destroy the World "Broken Spine Fantasia" C30

Following an initial LP and a few singles on other labels, we present two thrilling live sides documenting recent shows in Australia and New Zealand from Campbell Kneale's new project post-Birchville Cat Motel. Kneale's been a massive personal favorite here at Tape Drift since he first hit the scene in 1997. Reborn in this new guise, he's taking no prisoners and leaving audiences stunned by the majestic power of his noisy epics. It's hard to imagine Campbell topping the peaks of his vast BCM catalog, but these two tracks are a dream come true and suggest he may just have done it. Massively brutal sound here - perhaps one of his noisiest yet, but of course it's got all the hidden melodic elements and attention to detail that you've come to know and love. A psychedelic noise master work that works amazingly well with the oxide of tape.
