It’s hard to think of a label as reliably great as Lillerne Tapes. Since launching in 2007, the cassette imprint has become an anchor of the lo-fi and experimental ambient music world, its output ranging from contemplative dance to musique concrète to more abstract productions, with releases from the likes of Forest Management, mdo, Rhucle and Ulla Straus, to name just a few.

The man behind the prolific label is Gabe Holcombe. In 2021, he’s already put out three excellent releases from José María Delgado, jung dj and more eaze, all of which are worth checking out. While the label still retains its local, DIY feel, Holcombe doesn’t just release his friends’ music. Last year, he also tapped into Australia’s underground scene, releasing music from Melbourne’s Yunzero and Other Joe.

The label’s varied discography serves as an illustration of Holcombe’s sound palette; it’s rich in warm, fuzzy textures, tape hiss and subtle, often beautiful melodies. His mix casts a similar spell. Most of the songs come from ambient tape labels circa 2012—“reliable favourites”, in his words. Over 50 plus minutes, he weaves together music from the likes of Bermuda Link, Hakobune and Motion Sickness of Time Travel, creating the aural equivalent of a warm blanket.

Demos 2006

Harmic

I wrote this after watching the Spanish movie The Spirit of the Beehive.

--~--~--

how do you know that they didn't die?
cuz everything is fake in the movies
it is all a trick and besides 
I've seen him alive

if you're his friend, you can talk to him whenever
close your eyes and call to him
it's me
it's me, spirit
it's me

motoma 4ever set @ volumelithic

first demo of this song.

chorus:

no one cares when you're falling in. (109234 times)

bridge:

tell them it’s lie
tell’em you’re alright
even tho at night
all you want is fly

doesn't matter how
doesn’t matter now
no one knows about
when your feeling down

even if they tried to
get inside your mind
they can’t never find
of the other side

always been like that
you can’t act surprised
they don't even ask
you know that's a fact

Lyrics and vocal melody by Coyoti (https://soundcloud.com/echothehuman)

see you in the dark
and i can feel you in my arms
a scar in my heart
like it opens up the ground

haunt me

and i'm following you down
to the center of the earth
let it burn it all away
what's keeping you from me

and the memories

haunt
haunt 
haunt
haunt
