SINGLE REVIEW: Makeshift Tapedeck - Scap

Makeshift Tapedeck's 'Scap' is an intricate musical journey that has been five-plus years in the making, and it shows in the depth and complexity of the track. The song opens with heavily distorted vocals that give the illusion of being sung underwater, immediately drawing the listener into a surreal soundscape. This intro is then complemented by delicate female harmonies, which add an ethereal layer to the track.

As 'Scap' progresses, it shifts into a more bold vocal delivery with a distinct 90s indie feel. This is seamlessly integrated with synth-heavy 80s instrumentation, creating a bridge between two iconic musical eras. The thunderous alt-rock drums provide a strong, driving beat that keeps the momentum of the song relentless and engaging.

The nostalgic yet futuristic sound of 'Scap' is both creative and experimental, pushing the boundaries of conventional music genres. The textured layers of sound create an expansive auditory experience that is both intriguing and immersive. Makeshift Tapedeck has crafted a song that is a testament to their ability to blend diverse influences into a cohesive, innovative whole. Each listen reveals new details, making 'Scap' a track that keeps on giving.
