Thirteen albums in and the new ideas just seem to keep flowing for multi-instrumentalist Matt Adams, who&#8217;s baby The Blank Tapes are. There&#8217;s a heavier edge to this album with moments of pure guitar shredding neatly mixed with the ethereal surf psych grooves that are The Blank Tapes trademark.<\/p>\n<p>Adams drafted Shaughnessy Starr of Frankie &amp; The Witch Fingers and Hoover III on powerhouse drums, the grooving bass playing of Jason Cirimele of Guantanamo Baywatch and The Donkeys and Veronica Bianqui on airy backing vocals. The album was mixed by Matt Adams and Nathan Sabatino of Jim James &amp; Dr. Dog. The album art was also drawn by Matt Adams.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an exclusive listen to title track &#8220;Look Into The Light&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/620141907%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-K27Ti&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Blank Tapes will embark on their European tour in support of the album kicking off in Bremen, Germany on the 29th November and taking in 15 shows across Spain, Portugal and France before finishing off in London on the 16th December.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look Into The Light&#8221;
