summer reviewed: free piece of tape – s/t; on granny records



most of the summer months were spent in a weird kind of overheat hibernation, which meant that we let a lot of stuff slip by in the process. in a series of posts we will try to cover some of it. most of them will be spent mentioning the not-so-few records that we’ve let go unnoticed.

first is the “proper” debut by the athens-based duo of Giorgos Axiotis and Efthimis Theodosis, Free Piece of Tape.

granny05
cd edition

this has been out since june actually, on the homegrown thessaloniki label called granny records [more about the label soon].

Free Piece of Tape have been performing for a few years now, and have had their share of handmade tour-merch cdr editions, as well as a purposefully-out-of-character acoustic recording on kukuruku. Here we get a distillation of sorts, with the band offering 8 pieces that range from measured drones and electronics, to a thick stew of manipulated electro-acoustic treatments.

Their music thrives on the face-off between Axiotis’ synth, effect + mixing-board treatments and Theodosis’ impressive arsenal of handmade or repurposed percussion and spring-based instruments. On this album their sounds are at their most restrained and honed-down, though their vision on what they’re capable of is wider than it’s ever been. A most welcome addition to their catalogue, and a good place to measure one’s strengths.
