Too much has happened to tell you where we've been, but it's no problem telling you where we're going. We have exactly one new release for you planned so far in 2009, and it's already ready to go. Details below. Heavy Tapes will be doing maybe one or two more vinyl releases in 2009, plus a few cassettes if we can manage to dust off the old duper. Thanks for being patient. Insayngel s/t LP edition of 500, full color printed covers We saw Insayngel play some time in 2008 or maybe the end of 2007 at Glasslands. Immediately we said to each other "This band needs to have a record out. Let's do it." We talked to the band after the gig and they were down -- it was recorded, mastered by our friend Todd Cavallo, and sent off to the plant. Insayngel is Calder, Caitlin, Richard, and John. Calder and Caitlin are Vizusa and used to jam Excepter, and Richard and John are the brutal rhythm unit of Sightings. An intriguing combination of players to say the least, this LP brings a 30th Century sound to the history of New York City. The locked, wrecked rhythms, desparate, gorgeous wails, and shredded, anxious guitars are symphonic, undulating, impossible. A serious now vision that impressed us deeply enough to be the first LP we've ever done. Art by Calder, pressed in Brooklyn, New York. 120207: 3 New Winter Releases On the first snow day of the year in New York City, Heavy Tapes and Heavy Static are proud to present three new releases which will most likely round out 2007 for us release-wise. First off, we have a new release by Maya's Heavy Static label, an art edition called "Smoke," which was originally created for Printed Matter's "Giftland" event, and available here for an undetermined amount of time. Musically speaking, two new cassette releases by Workbench show case a new direction for a new location.
