Mystery Tape

from Yseulde

*TEMPORARILY PAUSED TO CATCH UP TO CURRENT ORDERS, THANK YOU*

OH SHIT, everybody loves a mystery right? Look, the I'm Happy and 4 EPs cassettes got too predictable. Everybody could be like "I know, I'm getting this iconic ambient album with folk and shoegaze elements or whatever" or "I'm getting four EPs that are devastating in their emotional depth and beauty." Not used to be fun! And mysterious.

So here's what's up. If you buy this, I will select some music from the bigass Not discography, dub it onto a 90 minute tape (the kind you would buy in a store with branding on it, not some fancy completely blank cassette that's maybe like a nice color or something stupid), package it with one of a kind artwork (may look similar to what is shown here, may not) and send it out. Maybe you'll get music I haven't released. Maybe you'll get something I think is underappreciated. Maybe I'll give you Fast Music, the worst Not release. Maybe I'll give you an evenhanded mix of what I think is the best of Not. Maybe I'll tell you what you get. Maybe I won't. Fine, it's less a mystery than some kind of surprise. But mystery tape sounds cooler, shut up.

Give me a week to make them. It will probably take less, but I could end up busy, I dunno what I'm gonna be doing. Also, if you're just dying to have a certain album, look, it's less fun but email me and tell me when you order and I'll do it. I'm gonna make it 7 bucks, which is like expensive for a tape but par for the course for a mystery tape, I think, considering it's like a lot of work to make one. Feel free to pay more, I mean whatever, it's a lot of work, I don't give a shit. I don't have gobs of money but neither do you probably so I get it. Fine. Just. I'm grateful you're listening. Mystery Tape.
