Hands Down Eugene – Stoned Monument: The Tascam 388 Tapes EP

When you have the level of output that Hands Down Eugene / Matt Moody has, it’s entirely possible that some creations are going to slip through the cracks and be unearthed at a later time. Such is the case with the freshly released Tascam 388 Tapes – recordings lost from a previous 2011 session. The songs, as you would assume, were recorded and bounced down on a four-track – a technical consideration that really only matters when considering the fact that the songs are able to maintain their allure despite being recorded on rudimentary tools. Never let it be said that a fancy rig is required to have quality songs find their way out into the world.
