The Cassettes: I’ve Been Gone

I have always been a fan of The Cassettes. This is my new favorite song. If, as you listen, you find yourself staring out at the stars and thirsting for travel, be calm. This is normal..

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

The Cassettes’ very own Chapeau Records presents the solo debut of our bassist, Nick Story… the story below:

Amateur Taxidermy was recorded during a year of turmoil, travel and change. Many of the songs were written by Nick in Brooklyn, NYC and while spending the winter in Lacoste, France. Amateur Taxidermy was finished in Washington DC, after Nick was forced into heavy opiate use by a broken jaw. The amateur taxidermy is over, and professionals are now being called in to put Nick back together. Nick can also be found as the bassist/projectionist for The Cassettes and other soon to be announced musical explorations.
