USA out-pop's unanimous obsession with tape recording continues unabated from coast to coast, spurred by something like Steam Punk's paradoxical love of the digitally expressed arcane. Schooled and encouraged by all-era DIY recordings countlessly available on 'sharity' blogs, by the grit-loving feel of early decade LPs by Jandek, Broadcast and Ariel Pink, studio Dub's medium-as-message learnings and in defiant reaction to somatic, Billboard-finished sounds a la Kayne West, cassette artists are now American music's newest, rapidly evolving zeitgeist.
As during hip-hop and punk's lettered heydays, there's a healthy East-West discourse at play among the new multi-trackers. New York has its strangled, cold death artists - Blank Dogs, Factums and others associated with the Sacred Bones label - while Los Angeles has the more disco and surf -influenced Wavves, Geneva Jacuzzi and now, Nite Jewel. Track down the new 12" on Italians Do It Better and album, Good Evening, on Gloriette, for the latest in magnetic trance - tranquilised, un-mixed dance arrangements for synth, off-machines and desirous female vocal.
