Tape Hiss is a (semi) regular column focusing solely on cassette releases. For the uninitiated, this feature was originally run on Stylus Magazine's website, but with Stylus shutting its doors, Bryan Berge is bringing it to Foxy Digitalis. So rejoice and all that, and check out some of these recent happenings in the world of cassette labels... feature :: by Bryan Berge

For me, a show is often a lot more than just the music itself. It begins with the anticipation and ends with the comedown. Usually that's only about 24 hours or so, but this time it lasted months (and I'm still not sure if it's over yet). I've long considered Barn Owl one of the best drone groups that I know of, so I couldn't wait to meet them and indeed, meeting them was a big part of the pleasure since they are some of the nicest, most chill people I've ever met... feature :: by Eden Hemming Rose

In 2005 I got a hold of The Magickal Folk of the Faraway Tree's first release "The Mildew Leaf". The CDR was my introduction not only to the group itself, but also to the whole Deserted Village collective. Back then I wrote to Gavin Prior: "I don't know how to say this without sounding too pompous, but it's somehow moving that these songs, maybe hundreds of years old, have been resurrected into our modern times. And given such unaffected but delicate treatment.".. feature :: by Jani Hellén

Jason Honea has been a major contributor to many of the finest projects housed in the Jewelled Antler forest. The Child Readers, with Loren Chasse are the perfect example, but Honea has also perfected his craft with the magical Knit Separates. Honea also has let his punk rock roots explode in the all-out aural assaults of Teenage Panzerkorps, a project with Glenn Donaldson. But Honea's craft is delicate and expansive. On The Knit Separates, one can hear his fixations and realizations come to life. There's mysticism and magic, but most important is beauty. As he prepares multiple new albums for release this year, we are lucky enough to be along for the ride... feature :: by Brad Rose

Todd Tamanend Clark Entering the double CD sound world of Nova Psychedelia is a daunting experience. Compiling the recorded output of Todd Tamanend Clark between 1975 and 1985, it’s a dense miasma of psychedelic emanations from Clark’s mind that takes in 1960s garage rock, the fluorescent pop art explosions of early Marvel comic books, and the brain wavering possibilities of the synthesizer and guitar. .. feature :: by Rich Hopkins (10 July, 2006)
