This album is still one of the best things we released on cassettes like ever rapt.bandcamp.com/album/until-...

So, a little over 2 years ago I put out this album with Ben from @aplaceforowls.bsky.social and I think it’s a perfect record for this time of year. You should check it out.
Btw, there are still tapes available through @filip.start-track.com

It’s a wonderfully authentic record with a sound that brings a sense of New Wave energy to a decade in need of authenticity. If bands like Shapes Like People can herald a coming of the jangle/dream pop revival in this decade, our ears will be all the better for it

“Regardless, whether it’s country, indie rock, or emo, I am glad Tiberius spent time down on the emo farm to wrangle up this album. It has precocious genre-bending that is engrossing and unique.”
Great Tiberius review over from @robi-lfdh.bsky.social on @filip.start-track.com!
