Tape Lab x Brillman - preGalia (beating earth i + ii)

[preGalia]
What started as a long jam session recorded by Tape Lab's 2yng2smpl was hastily exported to be listened to on the way to a Coastal Elite Gala. As is common, albeit obnoxious, 2yng2smpl, in turn, shared the raw 25-minute mess with Brillman. Ever patient and delightfully tolerant, he crafted and honed the sound while retaining the bursts and bounce of the original bop.

[on what should be, but isn’t, a straightforward  explanation]
Beaten Earth, well-worn and warning. Do you "shhhh" the drowning for interrupting your lunch while you look around for a lifeguard? Is it annoying to announce alarm again and again. It's so fucking hot the water is on fire. Is that a platitude? ARE YOU SCARED? 

[beating earth i + ii]
Two do too much, twice as many and multiplying. We're on the way to the party, melting into jet fuel, longing to land on long island, along .wav away from just outside Oslo. The method is madness, and it's made, in patchwork in precision. Recycled and downsampled, a tedious task, mastered masterfully. 

[visually arrested]
The Old Universal, that scion of soft power scratched and scrawled on the sub-conscience. We were born to fly, not drudge the bus. We are the They you can’t put your finger on (we’ve got security). Earth is Obsolete, obl0ng. An Egg and we’re beating it.

Served twice because we don't have to decide. We're already working on new shit, so keep your shirt on about quality control.

Brillman x Tape Lab - preGalia (Beating Earth I)

Welcome to #TapeLab—stay a while and listen. Founded in 2017 by lifelong friends, Tape Lab is a collective of artists and a hub for innovation, always open to collaboration. With the zeal of a self-published memoir, our sound is our own, but you can be the decider. We make music and art that sounds like it was fun to make and stands out in a sea of bland beats. 

As independent artists, we are always exploring new ways to expand our audience and find new creative outlets—especially with other undiscovered artists!

#TapeLab is currently based out of two headquarters in Durham, NC, and The Hamptons, NY.

I'll rock a beat harder than you can beat it with rocks.
