Sir Tad: Two Walkers tape
mixes samples from self-help tapes and home recordings with drowsy keyboards set to quasi-dub rhythms. With songs like “Path to the Dutchie”, we get something that sounds close to a homespun Mad Professor. “Homestake Pass” starts with some goofy kid noises but ends up being a serene, floating-down-the-river melodica drone dub. “Mondo” is a pleasant psych guitar loop thing, the melody reminded me of Galaxie 500’s “Fourth of July”. “What a Jerk” is some playful tomfoolery with kids’ voices. “Year of the Dragon” is just a bright, gleeful keyboard melody, then “Off the Boo Hoff Trail” is just so slow and gloriously out of wack that it feels healing. “Tynan’s Theme Song” is a simple, engrossing melodica melody which ends the album as a proper sendoff, even with snippets of a kid saying “bye bye now”.
