Library Tapes, Feelings for Something Lost [Resonant – RESCD020, 2006]

library_tapesfeelings_for_sLibrary Tape returns to Resonant after their debut album “Alone in the Bright Light of a Shattered Life”. The second full-length release is entitled “Feelings for Something Lost” and it features more lonely piano drenched in melancholy. It sets the mood for the rest of the 7-track mini-album and this is in both a good and a bad way. The piano’s solitude is used as a theme throughout all of the songs in combination with field recordings. As the last time around it works, but the feeling of repetition and a possible lack of ideas linger over “Feelings For Something Lost” as it did in “Alone in the Bright Light of a Shattered Life”. Nevertheless there’s still a beauty to Library Tapes’ music.
