Friday's Song of the Day is "With Our Eyes Closed," a dreamy summertime jam from Minneapolis musician Jack Ross, aka @tapetension. Some cool sonic textures in and out of the song, too.

“I Called Your Name” is a track out from Tape Tension, showing a lush and bouncy electro-pop charm that glistens and hooks. https://t.co/ZbG8wQq0EB

Ending my Twitter dry spell to let y’all know that I put out a new track today, “I Called Your Name”. Full of my favorite synths, per usual. Stream the track and watch the video here:

Mushrooms? More like “much room” in my stomach for these cool little fellas

Don’t usually “brag” about stuff like this/no one cares anyway, but v stoked that my outboard rack is now complete in my new home studio:

- Shure SR107 equalizer
- Warm Audio Bus-Comp stereo bus compressor
- SSL (Solid State Logic) Fusion stereo master processor

Let’s gooooo!

@Jimmy__Zee That man tweaked 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Jack Ross @tapetension]

@Jimmy__Zee Love that! Their entire catalog is truly so high caliber. My favs are Aja and Gaucho, secondary favs are Countdown to Ecstasy and The Royal Scam

Why did Apogee decide to only provide two 1/4” outputs on the Symphony Desktop interface????

[Jack Ross @tapetension]

@BasedFalco Don’t blame you, dude

@groovy_greens I had some green curry from On’s in St. Paul a couple nights ago and it was sublime. Also burnt my face off from the spice level, but minor details

@BasedFalco Luther possessed this odd culture of pretentiousness. I feel like so many people went there who had an intensely amplified perception of their musical inclination, and never shed it or learned to be humbled because it comprised their entire identity and small town/city upbringing

[Jack Ross @tapetension]

@groovy_greens Yes, mainly in the form of Thai food

[Jack Ross @tapetension]

@BasedFalco This sounds like it happened at Luther College

[Jack Ross @tapetension]

@groovy_greens OMG please keep me posted. I miss that sandwich

[Jack Ross @tapetension]

@BasedFalco Don’t get a drum kit unless you’re gonna buy something nice and buy good cymbals too. I know this sounds lame and gatekeeper-y, but shitty drums and cymbals will almost always sound shitty no matter how you tune, mic, or mix them IMO
