London-based band Tape House captures the quiet collapse of a relationship on “Spanish Friend,” an emotionally honest offering which softens the edges of their signature punchy rock with melodic jazz and classical music influences.
An atmospheric production caught between intimacy and inevitability, the track layers inventive guitar sounds with pop-tinged, raw vocal lines to make for an expansive, genre-hopping listening experience.
Lyrically, the restrained number explores the moment when love feels shared but direction does not as it encapsulates the war between self-preservation over the rut of a repetitive future with someone. Speaking of the track, they say, “Spanish Friend comes from that uncomfortable space in love where everything feels mutual except the future.”
Produced by both Luie Stylianou and Louis Isaacs (Judas Priest, David Gilmour, and Mark Knopfler) and mastered by Matt Colton (Grammy Award-winning, worked with – Arctic Monkeys, Thom Yorke, The Cure, Aphex Twin, Little Simz, Wet Leg and The Rolling Stones), “Spanish Friend” delivers a blend of indie-rock with progressive soul and jazz to create a sonic world that spans varying emotions with ease.
Having built a presence with compelling musicality, Tape House are cementing themselves as act who strikes an intricate balance between vulnerability and power.
