Setting your trunk on the deck of a flying spanish galleon heading for the outer reaches of space and time. You look back at the fading Oreth and shed a tear that drifts into the void of space and becomes a star. That star begins to gain incredible speed and starts to burn red heading towards the Pleiades. You feel you must change course and forgetting your sorrows you follow it into the unknown...

You are in the driver's seat. The first decade beyond 2000 is almost finished and it's not what you thought it would be. No hovering cars... no clear view of the stars... Have we been had? The Cassettes take it upon themselves to bring back those impossible visions and glimpses of the beyond, whether they haunt your obscure corners or aspire you even into the now and forever. Calling forth the dream spirits of Navajo warriors; hitting reset on the monstrous corporate consumer culture machine that eats away at the original American dream; summoning invisible gnomes from frigid landscapes. Calling forth (exorcising) the reptilian complexes dwelling amongst and inside us; long hands twisting into our souls, bringing up the blackness and fear: To show us who we are and who we were. This is the force of the now and a force cutting through the drudgery of the few power drunken taste-makers that denote the sounds of today and forget the soul of yesterday. This is underground economics: trading goods for goods, culture for culture and smiles for smiles. Shelling out hard-earned potential for hidden treasure among the hallowed bins of vanishing shrines. This is the magic dust on that unique and lost find. Standing on the shoulders of the neo-victorian steampunkery of their previous album, The Cassettes bring you to their vision of choose your own adventure rock n' roll music today. A Mad Max car-crash of everything that was and could have been. Make a courageous choice. How many stars can you see? The keys are in your hands.
"In Navajo, a warrior says what is in the people's hearts. Talks about what the land means to them. Brings them together to fight for it." - BIGHORSE
It's official: The Cassettes have cornered the market on rock n' roll swagger... One part folk, one part rock n' roll, one part cohesion. It just adds up. - Alternative Press
