Chris Walla - Tape Loops
Chris Walla, producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist from Bellingham, Washington, formerly of Death Cab for Cutie fame. His first solo record since leaving DCFC, although this isn’t the indie-pop you’d expect. “Tape Loops” is a warm and inviting ambient dreamscape. The songs are filled with nostalgia, compassion, and mournful memories. These are the loss of a feeling, the loss of time, events that have passed us by. Reminiscing with fondness in the attic of old forgotten treasures and memories. As implied by the album title, it is made up of tape loops, lending it the analog warmth and fuzz that juxtaposes so well with faded memories. Drawn out piano, swells and reverbs and glorious hums and buzzes. Oversaturated spells of grace. But it doesn’t dwell, it’s cognizant of the future, of new hopes and loves.
