Details
[Edit]The most whimsical extension of the Elephant Six collective, the Music Tapes take the concept of lo-fi to an arty extreme, using vintage recording equipment and found sounds to create brittle psych-pop. An 1895 Edison wax cylinder recorder, a wire recorder from the '40s, and reel-to-reel and cassette tapes give the Music Tapes' first album First Imaginary Symphony for Nomad a heavily distressed and textured sound that becomes poignant on songs like "Aliens," which boasts an arrangement that includes guitar, theremin, French horn, tambourine, and several layers of evocative fuzz. The Elephant Six Orchestra is also used well on "What the Single Made the Needle Sing" and "The Clapping Hands." While the nasal, off-key singing on most of the songs distracts from the fragile beauty of the music (especially on "Song of the Nomad Lost" and "An Orchistration's Overture"), First Imaginary Symphony for Nomad is a warts-and-all record, giving equal time to successful and not-so successful musical experiments.
