Covered And Taped

Dashboard Confessional

Four tracks captured on a portable tape recorder. Raw, hissing, and deeply intimate acoustic reinterpretations of modern indie and pop hits.

It's like Chris Carrabba broke into your room at 2am with a tape deck and a guitar.

A quiet, tape-hissed meditation on modern heartbreak and self-reflection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The audible click of the tape recorder starting and stopping between tracks.
The way Chris Carrabba's voice nearly cracks during the high notes of the Julien Baker cover.
The transformation of a chart-topping Bieber hit into a skeletal, haunting folk dirge.
