This is the debut album by
Tape Tum
.
The Night We Called It A Day
is a collection of nine graceful, hypnotic-textured compositions with ample experimental tendencies. Balancing masterfully between the analog and digital domain, the Belgian brothers of
Benjamin
and
Lieven Dousselaere
demonstrate an impressive song-crafting aptitude, enhanced with continental ethics and 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 the eclectic mixture of Tape Tum's vintage art-pop. Starting out in the rural town of Beernem 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. Their cutting-edge live appearances combine sound with film, installation art and contemporary dance and include collaborations with Icelandic performer
Erna Ómarsdóttir
, visual artist
Gabriella Fridriksdóttir
and French-Belgian choreographer
Damien Jalet
.
