Die Anteile new Album "Pelzwerk" out now (April 25th)

Die Anteile are gardeners on the side. Regardless of the local weather conditions, they merrily plant a wide variety of musical plants. The Japanese electro pioneers ofYellow Magic Orchestra are rooted prominently in the round bed where they share the soil with proto-industrialists like Crash Course in Science and Pyrolator. Post-punk bands such as Talking Heads and Magazine bloom along the garden fence, while electroclash is being fertilized in the neighbouring bed. Plenty of produce for a fresh wildflower salad to find its way onto the Die-Anteile-buffet.

‚Pelzwerk' is available on LP / CD and on all streaming platforms.

V.A. The Rubens Room - Él Records: In Camera out now (April 11th)

Of all the independent record labels of the 1980s, él was the most singular and exciting. él only existed for a few short years and yet paradoxically - given its modest commercial success - was hugely influential. For writer Jonathan Coe, one of the label’s many devotees, él was ‘Britain's great musical secret’.

The Rubens Room accompanies the book Bright Young Things by Mark Goodall (Ventil) the first publication to tell the fascinating story of the music found on The Rubens Room.
The album is available on Vinyl (2-LP) and CD. An exclusive white Vinyl version is available at the Tapete (EU) and Rough Trade Shop (UK)!

 

S.Y.P.H.: Pst, S.Y.P.H. (Album 4) & Punkraut 1978-81 reissues out now (April 4th)

S.Y.P.H. were active in the scene around Düsseldorf's Ratinger Hof in the early 1980s. The band defied genre-conformist expectations right from the start and drew on rock, punk and kraut as well as Dadaism and everyday life in West Germany. In December 2024, Tapete re-issued the first album and a collection of early singles. 

In April 2025, we continue the retrospect: the LPs ‘Pst’ and ‘S.Y.P.H. (Album 4)’) were produced by CAN's Holger Czukay; the compilation ‘Punkraut’ gathers singles, studio sketches and concert recordings from the years 1978-81. Find more info about the reissues here, order here.

Comet Gain: First Single "Beat of the Veins" of the upcoming album out now! (April 4th)

Formed in London in 1992 by singer and songwriter David Christian, Comet Gain were originally inspired by early Creation Records, Television Personalities and mod culture. On the upcoming record, Comet Gain are David Christian (vocals, guitar), Ben Phillipson (guitar), Rachel Evans (vocals), Robin Christian (percussion), Anne Laure Guillain (keyboards) and Clientele bassist James Hornsey, with additional vocal, brass and keyboard contributions from producer Sean Read (Dexys, Edwyn Collins, Rockingbirds).

Comet Gain singer David Christian says about “Beat of the Veins”, the first single of the upcoming album: “A fuzz edged stomper with echoes of 60s UK freakbeat and snarly pop bomp from those sweaty ballroom days - a rare occasion of both David (me) and Rachel sharing the microphone to convey the direct hits of the life saving musical adrenalin rushing through your body to hit the heart just when it needs it - to be played loud so your body and soul get the purest benefit of its raw medicine”

The album “Letters to Ordinary Outsiders” will be released on June 6th - preorders are available for CD,  limited pink vinyl and regular black vinyl.

Die Liga der gewöhnlichen Gentlemen - Ein Dienstag in Dur (Es ist Frühling)

Da es mit dem Sommerhit für die Liga bisher nicht geklappt hat versuchen sie es nun mit einem Frühlingshit. Da ist die Konkurrenz nicht so groß.  In „Ein Dienstag in Dur“ schaut der Protagonist durch die ungeputzt-schlierigen Fenster seiner vermufften Mietwohnung und sieht das Licht. Dann träumt er sich weg. In andere Länder und in ein anderes Ich, „ein freier Geist mit guter Frisur“ wäre er gern. Tja, wer nicht? Vielleicht langt es ja diesen Frühling zumindest für ein kleines Stück vom Glück.
„Ein Dienstag in Dur“ ist sonnendurchfluteter Liga-Pop mit Bläsern, Sitar und bittersüßer Melancholie. Wäre man jetzt so Schreiber von Promotexten könnte man fast sowas wie „der Track ist Vitamin D für Ohr und Hirn“ zu Papier bringen. Aber nur fast.

Das Album “Egg Benedict” kommt am 09. Mai und ist ab jetzt vorbestellbar!

After literally decades of drought and eager fans, The Loft’s brand-new album "Everything Changes Everything Stays the Same" is out today—and we couldn’t be happier with it. As one of the most influential British guitar bands of the '80s, shaping a host of younger artists, they not only have a new album to showcase, but are also on tour to perform their new songs. With a total of ten tracks, "Everything Changes Everything Stays the Same" demonstrates how well the band’s signature sound adapts in its contemporary form.
Check out the band on tour and order the album from your preferred retailer. We are pleased to offer an exclusive and limited version of the album in the Tapete Shop, which includes a flexi-disc with an additional song!

Robert Forster: First single "Strawberries" of the upcoming album "Strawberries" out now!

Robert Forster – Strawberries (Official Video)
By activating external video from YouTube, you consent to transmitting data to this third party.

Two years after “The Candle and the Flame”, Robert Forster releases a new album on Tapete Records. 

As the story goes, Forster ate a bowl of extraordinarily delicious strawberries - all by himself. His wife Karin Bäumler not only forgave her husband, she actually joined him on a duet of what was to become the title song to his ninth solo album. “What can ordinary be?” is its wistful question, befitting the life's work of Robert Forster who has perfected the art of being outré in a least ostentatious way, from his time in the Go-Betweens to his solo career, now spanning almost three decades, interrupted only by the old band's reformation in 2000 which ended with his songwriting partner Grant McLennan's untimely death in 2006. The album will be released on May 23rd.

Die Anteile: new single "Pelzwerk" from the upcoming album out today!

The new single by Die Anteile, ‘Pelzwerk’, tells of the longing for intensity and short-lived closeness. Out of the day, into the night: ‘I can do little, but / You would be enough for me / The evening is drawing in / Inclination arises / Finally something has happened’. The Berlin duo make generous use of synth lines on this track, using bass, drum machine and synthesiser disguised as guitar. ‘Pelzwerk’ is the fourth single from Die Anteile's album of the same name, which will be released on April 25, 2025.

New ANDREAS DORAU album "Wien" out now!

‘Vienna - the city with probably the most beautiful name. The sound alone is music.’ - Andreas Dorau

Reason enough to dedicate an entire album to the Austrian capital. The idea for this came about when Dorau and two friends were working on a map of Lübeck and exploring its untold stories away from the usual attractions. Dorau became fascinated with portraying a city from the perspective of an unbiased tourist, visitor and outsider.

Get your copy on Vinyl/CD, 2-Vinyl/2-CD bonus edition or exclusive orange 2-LP
