A blast (-off) was had yesterday, taking a look at Landings, the debut EP by electroacoustic harpist Grace Scheele! It’s a concept EP about the Apollo 11 mission. If you like science fiction, space, the moon, chilling, or not chilling, this cassette is for you! Chromed plastic, sleek packaging, bonus tracks, what more could you ask? And a small quantity is still available if you’d like your own copy! You can get it at Bandcamp, and I’m getting a second copy while I still can. Why?
- Supporting independent artists is important.
- Each tape comes hand-sealed in silver foil, with a sticker on the seam.
- Cassette-only bonus tracks on the B-side!
- Sensational packaging; chromed cassette shell.
- Music that is truly out of this world.
Grace joined me on an impromptu short episode of Grab A Stack of Rock on Sunday afternoon, where she explained the creative process, the art, and other details. Why cassette? You’ll love the answer. Also, find out what to do with an ornamental electric harp thingy if you want to have some fun with hacking! Seriously!
Great little mini-episode! Thank you Grace for sharing your time with us!
Pick up Landings on Bandcamp!
That’s gotta be the coolest-looking cassette I’ve ever seen. I always love me some silver.

I bought this last Friday when you mentioned it on John’s Friday new releases.
I’m just buying one though. I have my own way of opening cassettes that can mostly save the wrapping.
Nice interview. I really like, liked it.
I’m curious to hear how a tape from Duplication.ca sounds. Hopefully it sounds as good as it looks.
