Listening to Tape Club feels like being handed a shoebox full of unlabeled cassettes and finding that every single one contains a perfect, fragile melody. It is a sprawling, 26-track document of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin’s first decade, moving from the hiss-heavy basement recordings of 2002 to the more refined, Chris Walla-produced studio sessions of 2009. Despite the varying fidelity, a singular spirit of Midwestern sincerity binds the collection together. It is the sound of friends making music in attics, yoga studios, and carriage houses, capturing the specific, sun-dappled melancholy of Springfield, Missouri.
