Night Friends — Listen to the Desolate Songs of Arizona Duo Black Tapestry’s Latest Album “Outside”
"Nestled amidst the cacti and juniper of northern Arizona, Sisi and Ian pen music that beckons listeners into the desert’s desolate cradle. Picture yourself lounging under the desert sky, the stars twinkling like cosmic disco balls, while their tunes wash over you. They blend live instrumentation—think guitars and vocals—with the cold, pulsing rhythms of electronic drums and analogue synthesis. Imagine a musical buffet where you can sample everything from rebellious folk to headbanging metal, and you’ll get a sense of their eclectic journey. In late 2021, they finally decided to distill their varied tastes into one cohesive project: the result is fringe post-punk that tips its hat to postwave. Black Tapestry’s extensive use of effects and live sound manipulation draws inspiration from the likes of Bauhaus, Devo, and Fugazi; exploring the interplay between light and shadow, form and void, inviting us to explore the profound depths of our own inner worlds."
