Following on from his previous debut album
Tape 1/Tape 2
on Soundway,
Felbm
delivers
Tape 3/Tape 4
: an intimate, emotional, lilting, and melodic solo project. These 14 lo-fi, instrumental, jazz-infused sketches were written on guitar, with cascading keyboards, vibraphone, and drum machine. Possessing a restorative and soothing quality, it goes some way to balancing out a chaotic year for the world at large. With echoes of the dreamier end of 1980s English indie-pop, minimal ambient music, and Brazilian bossa-nova,
Eelco Topper
's musical storybook includes touches of
The Durutti Column
, hints of
Antônio Carlos Jobim
and
Baden Powell
, whilst all set firmly in the summer fields of Germany and the Netherlands. The recording method used for the creation and recording of
Tape 3/Tape 4
follows the same as his previous release: all sketches were initially recorded onto cassette on a 4-track tape machine. Most notably a vibraphone finds its way onto almost every track fitting Topper's sound-palette perfectly: warm yet distinctive, a percussive as well as sustaining sound that evokes some melancholy and a certain timeless nostalgia. Features that most certainly also apply to the other "new" instrument on the tapes: mellotron flutes.
Tape 3/Tape 4
navigates the space between quiet, open, meditative tunes and more solid instrumental works, reflecting his constant search for an optimal balance between stillness and movement. For fans of: KPM Library Records,
