Planet of the Tapes 009

Babysitter - Tape V

Babysitter - Sex Pet

Babysitter - I Gotta Be Me, I Gotta Be Free

Since emerging from the muck one year ago, Victoria’s Babysitter self released their first three cassettes before dropping a pair of burners on Totally Disconnected and Electric Voice. These charming cavemen continue the scuzz fuzz hit parade with Tape V, out just in time for a Canadian tour spreading the revolution coast to coast. Edition of 50, pro dubbed, feelgood family fun.

Planet of the Tapes 008

The Poly Shores - s/t

The Poly Shores - Catsup

The Poly Shores - Badminton Champion

Frothing at the mouth like Cujo without a bone, Calgary’s Poly Shores play over the top spaz jams that are also earworms (in a good way). Think Ponytail minus the gibberish or Toni Basil fronting a math-rock band — with or without the cheerleader outfits — and you might be in the right ballpark. Originally self released in 2010, and now reissued by POTT as a limited run cassette. Edition of 50, pro dubbed, rhodamine red.

Feel Alright - hahahahahahaha

Pittsburgh by way of Montreal by way of Calgary garage-pop swooners Feel Alright make lover’s rock for the lo-fi generation. Helmed by mainman Craig Fahner and featuring contributions from the Silver Dapple rhythm section plus Daniel “Prom Date” Christiansen, this eight-song c20 was recorded in three different parts of North America but ended up in guitar tone city. Includes a shiny download ticket plus trading cards of totemic items inspiring the music (plus bonus non-album downloads if you’re lucky).

SOLD OUT // Download or stream at http://feelalright.bandcamp.com/

J FM - Live 4/11

When he’s not busy breaking hearts as the drummer of RatTail, Toronto’s Jesse Frank Matthews makes tape-loop based warble-pop under the solo alias J FM. Dream Sequence collects his most recent on-the-fly creations with its second 3” CD release, featuring eight songs and colourful collage art from the beautiful dreamer himself.

Arcseconds // Sundrips split [Cover art: Marc Rimmer]

Arcseconds - Lima Yankee Seven Alpha by Planet of the Tapes

Sundrips - Soft Span (excerpt) by Planet of the Tapes

After months of preparation, the c40 split from Berlin-based cosmonaut Arcseconds and Montreal’s dreamiest drone duo Sundrips is ripe for the gripping. With his debut transmission, Arcseconds’ side is a four-song suite on the theme of space crafted from eerie vocal samples, stuttering beats and computers gone haywire. Sundrips fill side 2 with the 18-minute drifter “Soft Span”, utilizing their trademark array of cascading synths, time sculpting pedal effects and tickling flickers of guitar scorch, meditating at the temple of Kosmische Musik. Available in a black on black or purple/silver sleeve.

SOLD OUT. Copies may still be available from Tomentosa or DNT, so please contact them for orders.
