Comment: Lost Tapes is the combo of Pau Roca, and RJ Sinclair whose 4-track solo issue is made up of chiming guitar ascensions, buried vocal vibes, and subtle keyboard induced whiffs and drones. The duo`s aesthetics is laid bare at the crossroads of shoegaze, jangle pop/C86 scene, and light-weighted psychedelic pop instances like lots of bands related to Sarah Records and Slumberland Records. However, there can be drawn parallels upon the likes of McCarthy, The New Mystikal Troubadours, Field Mice, Ride, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, for instance. Roca & Sinclair`s songwriting is tight, and mesmeric. Great offering by any means.
