The Music Tapes - Mary's Voice & Kickstarter Campaign for The Traveling Imaginary!


The Music Tape's Mary's Voice comes out on Merge Sept 4th. This is the most original, interesting and poignant album I have heard in more than a decade. All the songs are brilliant, but the song Takeshi and Elijah evokes such powerful feelings of loneliness and yearning with its distant, passionate tone, that I actually teared up a bit. If you don't take a chance on Mary's Voice, you will be missing out on something special.



Also, The Music Tapes have started a Kickstarter campaign for The Traveling Imaginary.

"The Traveling Imaginary is an invitation into The Music Tapes’ world. We will tour the United States in a circus tent, transforming spaces into cozy, dreamlike environments for evenings’ worth of music, games, stories, films, and amusements. The Traveling Imaginary is a long-dreamt-of undertaking on a grander scale than anything we have ever done. You, the audience member, will be an honored guest in The Music Tapes’ world – the one in which Julian has lived and recorded in for years."

This video should explain it all:
