A lot of bands like to turn up the volume when they play live, but Spirit Of… have become known for their high volume live performances and towering amp set-up. Brooklyn musicians Frederick Nicholson and Mikael Tarkela use volume as one of the tools in their musical palette as they paint soundscapes with guitars, keys, vocals, and samples. After discovering Spirit Of… last year, we had to include their album Glossolalia on our list of Favorite DIY Releases of 2017. In March 2018, we invited them to Bethlehem to play one of our Tape Swap Presents shows at Lit Roastery, and they joined us afterwards at Shards to record this session.

We also mark the occasion of the Tape Swap Radio Stage returning for this year’s Allentown ArtsFest, which runs September 28-30, 2018. Matt and Shamus pick out music from some bands and artists coming to the Tape Swap Radio Stage, then ArtsFest Creative Director Brandon Wunder joins us with a mix of music from bands playing the Main Stage.
