The Music Tapes - The Television Tells Us

Review by Jennifer Kikrland

The Music Tapes' latest album "The Television Tells Us" is a unique and captivating collection of songs that takes listeners on a journey through a world of whimsy and wonder. From the opening track "Takeshi and Elijah" to the closing number "Freeing Song for Reindeer," the album is a showcase of the band's eclectic sound and storytelling prowess.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Majesty," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases the band's ability to create a sense of otherworldly magic with their music. The song is built around a simple melody played on a musical saw, which is then layered with ethereal vocals and a sparse piano accompaniment.

Another highlight of the album is "Kolyada #3," a rollicking instrumental track that features a driving accordion melody and a frenetic rhythm section. The song is a perfect example of the Music Tapes' ability to blend traditional folk elements with more experimental sounds and techniques.

Led by Julian Koster (with longtime creative collaborator Robbie Cucchiaro, Thomas Hughes, the 7-Foot-Tall Metronome, Static the Singing Television, and a legion of singing saws), The Music Tapes use music, storytelling, games, and their own brand of magic to collapse the boundaries between pop experimentation, theater, and performance art. They have played in opera houses, a roving circus tent, and over 500 living rooms across North America.
