Alternative PressJan 11, 2011Outside has a knack for taking these slow-building verses toward delayed rewards--by the time you reach the marrow of a tune, it's already the best Tapes 'N Tapes song you've ever heard. [Feb 2011, p.90]
-
Jan 7, 2011T'nT soldier on with Outside, offering a veritable Whitman's Sampler of collegerock touchstones (the Pixies, Talking Heads, Modest Mouse) in one cannily melodic jumble.
-
Jan 10, 2011Give Outside a listen, then maybe invite these guys in again.
-
Jan 18, 2011Tapes 'n Tapes will probably never again manage to capture the youthful, devil-may-care magic of The Loon--those times are passed. But Outside, with its handful of pretty fantastic tracks, shows positive signs that this band may not be the victim of early success that it once seemed destined to be.

-
Jan 11, 2011Outside is a fine but ultimately feckless return to form, an attempt to rebuild The Loon's simple charms.
-
Feb 23, 2011The general malaise that characterises Outside manifests itself in many forms: 'Mighty Long's overwhelming dearth of meaning, the sluggish pacing of 'People You Know' or the shortlived kick-back against mediocrity that is 'Freak Out'.
