‘The Night We Called It A Day’ hits the record stores on 4th June

With Tape Tum‘s The Night We Called It Α Day Kimi Records will discover its continental side… The Belgian brothers‘ debut album is a collection of nine graceful, hypnotic–textured compositions with ample experimental tendencies and will be released in Europe on 4th June.

Balancing masterfully between the analogue and digital domain Benjamin and Lieven Dousselare demonstrate in The Night We Called It Α Day an impressive songcrafting aptitude, enhanced with an evident love for Grizzly Bear, the Beach Boys and Sparklehorse. Soothing soundscapes and acoustic sensitivities injected with smart beats, airy jazz touches and elegant bleeps are the elements that make up their eclectic vintage art-pop mixture.

Starting out as an attic project, Tape Tum are now a fully-fledged outfit with a support slot for the legendary post-rock experimentalists Tortoise and a contribution to the Domino compilation of prominent UK magazine Wire in their arsenal.
