Press Blurb :
Yet another debut album on Resonant, this time from a Swedish
epic instrumental duo whose dark atmospherics echo the work of
the likes of Max Richter, Lunz, Sylvain Chaveau, Esmerine,
Rachels and A Silver Mt Zion. The two young men that comprise
Library Tapes only met for the first time last summer, when Per
was called by a promoter as a last-minute replacement for the
guitarist in David's band - even though they live in the same
town. It quickly became apparent that their respective talents
would work well together, and so it has turned out; in Library
Tapes, David takes care of computer-related business, as well
as playing piano and acoustic guitar, while Per plays the
balalaika, both acoustic and electric guitar (with bow) and
piano.
Both Per and David also feature in other bands, and Per is
involved in film-making, poetry and a spoken-word project. They
took their name after performing live in a library; their
structures and approach take their lead from classical music,
and the seven expansive, sprawling, emotive compositions on
"Alone In The Bright Lights Of A Shattered Life" are
effectively one piece of music split into subsections or
movements.
The album was recorded in three severe winter days.
Web Review :
"Formed last year by Swedish artists David on programming,
piano and acoustic guitar and Per on balalaica (Russian cord
instrument from the laud family), acoustic and electric guitar
(with bow) and piano. This album comprise of seven pieces that
has a classical music approach, is combined with electric
guitar feedback and processed noises in the electroacoustic
vein. For this reason the acoustic and electric sounds walk of
the hand in tracks like 'The scratches on the window in the
doors of each cell' and on 'Alone In The Bright Lights Of A
Shattered Life', or the sounds obtained after scraping old
mechanic objects shown on 'Broken piano pt. 1'. The approach in
the composition of the pieces - with first and second parts -
also evokes melancholic images of some dark but romantic film.
This is a delicate album where the parsimony crosses along of
it that slowly culminates when it's ending with the
reverberance of the piano" www.loop.cl
