The Cassettes– a four or five-piece Choose Your Own Adventure Mystic Country Steampunk Stomp band from Washington, D.C. started by Frodus frontman Shelby Cinca as a solace from his post-punk screaming endeavors. Ballooned from a lineup that originally contained members of Dead Meadow to a group of modern day vagabonds and dreamers consisting of multi-instrumentalists that play theremins, steel guitars, accordions, analog synthesizers, tablas and much more. Also known as a Musical Explorers Society, The Cassettes (a registered trademark), dare to push standard musical structures while maintaining a respectful tip o' the hat to the visionaries of the past. Courage.

Shelby Cinca: Guitars & Vocals, Stephen Guidry: Banjo & Accordion & Moog & Vocals, Saadat Awan: Drums & Tablas & Vocals, Arthur Harrison: Theremin & Vocals, Nick Kraly: Bass & Vocals & Projections, Christina Frances: Vocals, Dr. Klem: Contrabass & Chimes.

CURRENT MOON


  1. September 7, 2011

    Photo post

    We got 8/10 from a review in Lukinzine Sweden Here’s a translation: Slow chewin’ folk music with something dreamy and harmonious over itself. Almost religious and nothing like the previous releases Analog Writing Letters (2010) and ‘Neath the Pale Moon (2006). There are even country music references so The Cassettes really stick their necks out and that is probably what makes you embrace this particular release a little extra. To carve new ground can be dangerous but also very liberating both for the artist and the listener. Usually it feels like a strange instrument at any time can appear on a The Cassettes disc, so this kind of laid-back and stripped down EP feels very fresh and new to be The Cassettes. The Beatles-esque drum accompaniment that moves through nearly every song many listeners will swallow immediately and if one likes these aforementioned icons so you should definitely check out The Cassettes and especially the last track on this EP, namely Watchers. 8/10 – LukinZine.se
