Tape Waves
Bright
Tape Waves are Kim and Jarod Weldin, a dream pop duo from Charleston, SC. They have released 3 full length albums on San Diego's Bleeding Gold Records, which have garnered comparisons to Mazzy Star, Cocteau Twins and Best Coast. SPIN described the bands' sound as "wistful, lens-blurred dream pop to soundtrack nostalgia daydreams and sleepy weekend afternoons." Their two most recent albums were also released on 2670 records in Japan, where they toured in support of 2018's Distant Light. Their new album, Bright, combines the bands' previously established sun-drenched pop with the fuzzed out indie rock influence of bands like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and Teenage Fanclub. Bright was mixed and mastered by Kevin McMahon (Real Estate, Titus Andronicus, Widowspeak) at his studio, Marcata Recording, in Upstate New York, elevating the production and adding the sonic depth that the songs deserve R.I.Y.L: Alvvays, Vivian Girls, Yo La Tengo
