Tape Loop Orchestra is the work of The
Boats' Andrew Hargreaves'. It's the
place where he shares his most soporific
thoughts and personal emotions in
ferric-saturated sound. His output under
this moniker is scant; just a small
handful of micro-run CDrs on boutique
imprints Ono and Lacies Records exist,
so this double disc edition is certainly
his most substantial, and quite possibly
(in fact: it is) his most beautiful to
date. Disc 1: "a compendium of tape loop
experiments recorded in the dark days of
November 2010 to June 2011" entitled
'The Word On My Lips Is Your Name'
credits his bandmate from The Boats,
Danny Norbury on Cello. But, to be fair,
it's hard to distinguish any singular
instrument or source from the others
within his dream-like states: all edges
and textures are smudged to an
etherically numb blur. Crucially, the
only discernible elements are his
heartbreaking melodies; ghostly,
intangible figures whose characteristics
resemble any loved one you'd care to
superimpose. Disc 2: Tape Loop Orchestra
performs 'The Burnley Brass band Plays
On In My Heart'. Recorded "in the dog
days of September 2011" we can glean the
warmer presence of wide, expansive synth
pads and fragments of stray bleeps
chiming in the murk, relative beacons of
hope compared to the crushed mood of the
other disc. Lovely.
