    Tape Recorder is an apt name for its unvarnished sophomore LP, which resembles a demo.

    The result builds nicely upon the group's heretofore psychedelia-dipped brand of indie rock, and retains much of their longstanding devotion to the late singer/songwriter Elliott Smith. This atmospheric, bedroom orchestral aesthetic also brings to mind more vintage touchstones like Nick Garrie's 1969 cult-classic The Nightmare of J.B. Stanislas, and even some of Donovan's more esoteric recordings.

    The whole collection works to move beyond predictable conclusions though, and as a result, each listen holds a new discovery.
