I’ve always enjoyed Tape Deck Mountain ever since I saw them at Aquarium Drunkard’s Waved Out in 2010. Live, they are ferocious as they are slowly hypnotic; that is a skill every great shoegaze band has and I am just giddy with the two latest tracks from the San Deigo band.
They may have just released their album, Ghost, last November but they’ve been keeping busy enough to release a brand new EP a few days ago titled “Secret Serf” which boasts the very exciting songs, “It Goes Down” and “P.I..” With the latter being slightly more upbeat than the former, both songs make for a very positive foreshadow of what their full-length will hopefully sound like.
With vocals almost hidden in all the fuzz and shredding mania, “It Goes Down” especially pulls one into something similar to an acid trip – ironically not on the beach. Tape Deck Mountain manages some tongue and cheek humor along with some incredible talent.
Take a listen to the two new songs below!
