LISTEN: The Blank Tapes - "I'm Back"

MP3: The Blank Tapes - "I'm Back"
Sometimes you have to break it all up to find the hidden harmony in the cacophonous whole. Taking some '60s-era garage rock jangle and harmonious pop charm, The Blank Tapes sounds like time-traveling troubadours. And while this sounds like familiar territory, it doesn't sound dated or forced. SIKE! It's from the 1960s, of course it sounds authentic. SIKE! It's from 2012. SIKE! Which one is the truth and which one is the lie?
The Blank Tapes is the project of one Los Angeles/San Francisco-based multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter Matt Adams. "I'm Back" is from The Blank Tapes' new 7" of the same name, out now on 20 Sided Records.
