  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Yet another shining star found in the bright Florida post-rock constellation is Tampa’s Tape Delay (April 29, Back Booth). This band’s arrangements are built on uplifting notes aimed at the stratosphere; they don’t dangle in the brooding void that’s systemic to the genre. Not saying there’s anything wrong with it – it’s often key to the expressive power of post-rock – but these guys opt to spend their time spreading their huge crystalline wings and piercing the heavens in triumphant, silvery spires. It’s a gesture that adds enough listenability to beckon even those who don’t necessarily flip over post-rock. The Tape Delay has smarts that are neither willful nor indulgent. .. Bao Le-Huu, The Orlando Weekly .. .. "Like the deconstructed space they play in, the band’s music seems to fall somewhere in between renovation and innovation. It’s a baroque kind of rock sound, and is reminiscent of Explosions in the Sky, Unwed Sailor, or the art-punk of Pretty Girls Make Graves sans the vocals." .. Chris Gaughan, REAX Issue 32 .. .. The Tape Delay, an instrumental, atmospheric alt-rock outfit that all but begs for comparisons to Explosions in the Sky. .. Jay Cridlin, TBT* .. .. .. ..
