OPAL TAPES
OPAL TAPES
Since adopting the analog magnetic recording format in 2012, Opal Tapes has flourished into a renowned outpost for intelligently crafted reel-to-reel recordings which evoke a warped nostalgic romanticism and therefore pair effortlessly with film score, performance art and gallery space. Whilst a discerning listening experience, the ballast of Opal Tapes’ high-fidelity output occupies an ever-fertile terroir between the worn tropes of musique concrete, drone, krautrock and shoegaze. Now entering into its 250th release there is an overwhelming sense of accomplishment from this Northern institution, which has amalgamated the talents of Huerco S, Patricia, Wanda Group, Russell E.L. Butler and E-Saggila, and whilst none of the aforementioned artists conform to a stern 4/4 machine-like pulse, the music is blessed with a bleak, introverted and dystopian aesthetic that is refreshing in todays like-driven landscape.
