Family Battle Snake - Arabian Knights
Goaty Tapes

I mean, there are times when listening to an album via tape is fun—at night; early morning; driving slow speeds; listening to dusty rap like Delo or Big K.R.I.T. (bombastic rap simply does not translate)—but minus those very specific instances it is counterintuitive to the listening process. It's no different than cooking a steak with a lighter or trying to watch porn on an analog television.

I listened to Family Battle Snake's Arabian Knights last night, just a hair before midnight. Except, listening to this Berlin, Del., act wasn't fun because everyone was sleeping soundly and the air conditioner was making bizarre, rattley noises, and the second side to Arabian Knights is one long track titled "LLSN II" and it is tense, breathless, patched-together-sounding, bring-you-to-the-edge-of-nausea electronic music that reminded me of the unsettling soundtracks to flicks like Cannibal Holocaust and Eraserhead. Later, in bed, sleep kept its distance.
