I discovered Tape Deck Mountain after they released their third album and so it happened that Echo Chamber Blues was one of the highest praised albums of 2018 on this blog. Now the shoegaze/post-punk Californians are back with another great album called True Deceiver.
It's not always easy to write shoegaze-like noisy and psychedelically chaotic songs that at the same time are catchy enough to instantly draw attention to themselves. It is for Tape Deck Mountain though. From the very first track, Screen Savior, the choruses stay with the audience being extremely difficult to get rid of from head. But the peak of the catchiness is reached with the single track Apocrypha, one that is bound to be one of the audio symbols of this year for me. It's also the closest the album gets to Echo Chamber Blues' sound (unlike this noisier and heavier persona we are getting to know now) and I can't fight my love for this release.
But probably more important thing is that this is a very noisy and psychedelic music. I would not say it's shoegaze, even the artists say that in quotation marks as it's the safest way of describing a noisy music with delicate vocals. But it's closer to psychedelic noise rock than shoegaze, that's for sure. And the noisy part is not just a decoration either, for most of the songs, like for example Nomo, the guitar noisy and beautifully satisfying experiments build the music's core.
