XL Recordings is proud to announce the release of Tapes ‘n Tapes incredible sophomore record. Entitled “Walk It Off,” it will be released on April 8th, 2008 and was produced by renowned producer Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Sleater Kinney, Weezer).
“Walk It Off” is the Minneapolis-based band’s first record since 2006’s widely lauded “The Loon,” which established the band – Josh Grier (guitar, vocals), Jeremy Hanson (drums), Matt Kretzman (keyboards), Erik Appelwick (bass guitar) – as ones to watch. Pitchfork called the album “11 tracks stuffed with hook after addictively anthemic hook” while Rolling Stone declared it “as loveable as it is bewildering” and Entertainment Weekly said it “excites with twisty guitar tangents, an airtight country two-step, and commanding choruses that Grier belts out with the fervor of a preacher.”
