Today’s cassette is The Fleeting Light of Impermanence (2019) by The Appleseed Cast.
One of the last great emo survivors—still expansive, still willing to slip math rock rhythms under their soaring guitars. The lyrics are thoughtful, almost pained, and yeah… it makes me want to dye my hair black again. Middle age creeps up, but this band hasn’t dulled.
On tape, though? This one’s tricky. A good deck gives you shimmering highs and layered textures. Play it on a bargain-bin portable and it collapses into mud—more so than most cassettes, since the mix leans heavy on high frequencies. Part of me wants to dub it onto a nice Type II just to see if the music breathes differently.
