Library Tapes – Fragment VIII
After a sleepless night and a hectic day of scrambling around the place, the inside of my head feels a bit like this song right now.
Library Tapes are a Swedish duo that use piano and violin to create a particular kind of distance, other-wordly ambience – a little like Stars of the Lid without that clinical degree of perfection.
