My friend Johan G Winther (Tsukimono, Scraps of Tape) will be releasing a super-limited 8" lathe-cut EP via with unique artwork for each and every copy supplied by the small circle of folks who manage to purchase a copy (of which I hope to be a part of). Read more about the project here: http://timecanvas.wordpress.com/2011/10/27/upcoming-releases/

Look for new releases from various constellations of the SoT membership in the not-so-distant future, both musical and otherwise.
At long last available for public consumption, the new Scraps of Tape single "Flera meter kort" featuring guest vocals from Mattias Alkberg of The Bear Quartet/MABD.

Scraps of Tape will be doing a special art-exhibit/photo-shoot/live-show/video-shoot at Gallery Krets in Malmö on June 17. It's free, but your likeness may be preserved for all eternity as part of the band's documentation of said evening, though that may mean you'll be the world's next big YouTube star (for a moment). Anyhow, there will also be cheap refreshments and the band will premiere some new tunes from the upcoming album and there may even be some extra-special guests. It all goes down at 18:00 and again: it's free. Can't lose.
Scraps of Tape are done tracking their new album -- read the full studio report: http://scrapsoftape.wordpress.com/2011/02/22/post-recording/

Swedish postrockers Scraps of Tape have a newly revamped website: http://www.scrapsoftape.com/
Swedish postrockers Scraps of Tape didn't play out much in 2010, but they've lined up four extra-special German gigs for November at their favorite venues/cities:
11/10 - Az Conni, Dresden
11/11 - Schokoladen, Berlin
11/12 - Cairo, Würzburg
11/13 - Steinbruch, Duisburg
These won't just be regular shows though -- the band has compiled a special limited edition record featuring live versions of new songs plus various b-sides from their most recent album "Grand letdown" and will be giving copies away to the first 50 attendees at each show. And they won't be available anywhere else either, as they're only pressing 200. The band will be doing some special limited-edition posters and t-shirts though, so even latecomers don't go away empty-handed. Scraps also say they'll also only be playing material from "Grand letdown" plus some new songs off the record yet to come -- the one they are currently in the process of writing.
