Style: Appalachian Garage Rock
Dakota Free and Wade Gillette of The Tape Cassettes have reportedly been jamming together for their entire lives, and that chemistry is evident. Tracks like “I Said, I Said” showcase their garage rock prowess, drenched in a thick, glorious fuzz that leans so heavily into distortion that it occasionally swallows the lyrics whole. However, they show a lighter, more agile side on “Late Love (Live),” where the playfulness of their chemistry finally emerges from the feedback, proving there’s a heart beating under all that grime. It seems that they revel in the work they are doing, inviting listeners to share in their joy—and sometimes their chaos.
