Hey Everyone,
The greatest band to collect some of my favorite people in the world have given us their debut recording to unleash to the drooling public! It is the 8 person 4 guitar whirlwind of serene drones and sweet tunes and jagged riffage known as Guitar Party. Featuring Jeremy (alpha consumer, andrew bird, fog) and Mijah (age 6) Ylvisaker with a list of Minneapolis’ finer musicians- Michael Larsen (eyedea-RIP), Andrew Broder (fog, heatdeath, the cloak ox), Haley Bonar (haley bonar), Michael Lewis (fat kid wednesdays, andrew bird, gayngs) and Jacob Hansen.
and one last thing, ModernTapes has a facebook page, join the gang to get updates and junk.

mt002- Unur “anywhere” 4 song ep – analog drum machines and synths mix with some fuzzy guitars and smeared singing to tell us about each of our own apocalypses
mt003- Guitar Party “tba” ?song lp – 4 guitars, drums, and a six year old frontwoman. imagine Glen Branca, Kleenex and Old Skull at the same time, now go to bed.
