Meadow Argus returns with his second cassette on Flophouse Tapes. Little Tree is over 40 minutes of his usual organ drone and tape alchemy with themes of nostalgia, childhood, fuzzy memories.

"A few years ago I found a box of tapes at a thrift store containing phone conversations between two people, Bob and Carole, recorded in the early 1990s. In total I've listened to 27 hours of their conversations across 18 cassettes, taking notes, and have been slowly editing them for use in my music. This is the first tape in the series. The main samples I used for Little Tree are Carole talking about a tree in front of her house, and a story about liking bugs as a child. Bob talks about his neighborhood and friend group as a kid getting torn apart by freeway construction. I juxtaposed these samples with one from an old family home video of my Zadie telling a story of his neighborhood in the early 1940s.

The background sounds contain a mix of my usual collage of cassette tape manipulation soundscape buzzy drone via an organ mostly and a little synth at times. Recorded 2024 at home in my attic to 4 track cassette." - Tynan Krakoff, Meadow Argus
