Hi. This is Sam from BlackTape. I'd love to hear from you — blacktapesam@gmail.com — Spotify says 61% of our listeners are under 34 years old (and the largest group is 24% from 23-27 years old). Wonderful! Who are you? I'd love to know. Really, everyone please get in touch! Where do you live, how did you discovered our music, your age. I enjoy hearing from listeners. Thanks! — 2024 is the 25th anniversary of AS ONE AFLAME LAID BARE BY DESIRE, with "Dulcinea." I (Sam) make solo music at Sam Rosenthal, Nova Cat Purring Sounds & As Lonely As Dave Bowman — Formed in 1986, Black Tape for a Blue Girl's ethereal, mournful sound virtually defined the darkwave aesthetic of their label, Projekt Records, run by group founder, composer and keyboardist Sam Rosenthal. In 2021 the band released their 13th studio album (The Cleft Serpent). Ethereal, evocative, powerful and melancholy, BlackTape reinvents their classic sound, expanding upon sweeping atmospherics and foreboding, engaging lyricism. Captivating vocals from Jon DeRosa (of the band Aarktica) and strings from Henrik Meierkord accent pieces with a lush neoClassical textural ambience. A contemplative twilight hangs over this band.
