Tennessee-based acid scuzz rockers Wicked Trip‘s second full-length, Cabin Fever (review here), has been issued on tape through Saturn Eye Records. I don’t know about you, but I think that works. They put it out on CD too, which is always great, don’t get me wrong, though especially for something that’s so raw and that rawness becomes part of the aesthetic, something that doesn’t feel like it was made for everybody, I think the format works especially well. Maybe it’s compression, maybe it’s placebo; I won’t claim to know and it doesn’t really matter. But I always feel like I need to justify posting about something coming out on tape as news, when no, I almost certainly don’t.

There’s vinyl coming in April through DHU Records, if that’s your format preference — no judgment either way; life is short and difficult, love what you love — and there are still both CDs and of course an infinite supply of .zip files in various bitrates and digital compressions, so Wicked Trip have you covered in any case. Saturn Eye sent the following down the PR wire:

LABEL ANNOUNCEMENT (SE-012) —
Now on cassette is the paranoia-inducing doom opus CABIN FEVER, from Tennessee burnouts @thewickedtrip. This album was digitally released last October but hasn’t seen a physical edition until now.

CABIN FEVER is a 46 minute long acid-fried journey of soul crushing psychosis-riffing and sampling. Listeners be advised – your mental state may be adversely affected… But if you follow this label then you’re probably already fried. So grab a cassette and do a little more damage!
