Tether - Mirror Finish - LP - Hot Releases - HOT-44
Tether (formerly PAK) is the cassette tape loop-based project of artist Lauren Pakradooni. Since 2007 she's produced a steady output of cassette releases, with a distinctive sound ranging from severe noise to off-kilter song-forms. We are very excited to present the world with her first-ever vinyl release. Hypnotic stretches of homemade loops give rise to minimal and menacing song structures, strange and inward psychic topographical exploration, in that immediately recognizable Tether style.
