Tapes 'n Tapes - Insistor

Across the Atlantic Tapes 'n Tapes' The Loon has created a fervent tidal wave of acclaim and with its imminent UK release it won't be long before we're all taking shelter from this pelagic pummelling. New single Insistor is the perfect introduction to the gazing wonderment of this Minneapolis quartet. Cavernous and brooding, it recalls the inconspicuous sound of Pavement tinged with a sinister Pulp Fiction-esque country melody. It may point to yet another morose Arcade Fire wannabe but don't be fooled; Tapes 'n Tapes is one storm you'll gladly batten down the hatches for. [Billy Hamilton]
