Tapes 'N Tapes announce April album release

Tapes 'N Tapes are set to release their second album, Walk it Off, on April 8. A follow-up to The Loon—critically acclaimed for guitarist/volcalist Josh Grier's consistent Feelies-esque riffs and Stephen Malkmus-like growl—this album may breathe extra life into the band's already lively sound.

An invaluable asset (and possible catch) for Walk it Off is its producer, Dave Fridmann, who has mastered several notable albums such as Sleater-Kinney's The Woods, Mogwai's Rock Action and Come on Die Young as well as the bulk of The Flaming Lips' discography. If nothing else, it will be interesting to hear how the comparably polished sound in Fridmann's earlier gems mesh with the addictive lo-fi flavor of Tapes 'N Tapes' debut.

Look forward to a review of Walk it Off in the April issue of Paste.
