\"Jettison<\/p>\n

Brooklyn via Chicago via Bloomington musician and composer Dave Fischoff<\/a> has been crafting and recording music for twenty years now. Two years after Fischoff debuted his solo career in 1994,\u00a0 Secretly Canadian put out his first cassette and a number of recordings followed it. Fischoff also went on to rework songs from other artists and DJing under the moniker Spoolwork, and more recently he has worked as a film composer. Jettison Tape<\/a> is his new solo project, named after an old habit of his. Fischoff explained it:<\/p>\n

“When I lived in the Midwest- in Bloomington, Indiana and Chicago- I used to scour the cassette bins in thrift stores, digging for old tapes that looked homemade and might have interesting audio on them. Much of what I found were recorded bits of other people\u2019s lives- audio letter exchanges, little kids singing\u2026personal relics on tape that were moving to hear, but also a little eerie, since they\u2019d been lost or thrown away. Jettison Tape, as it were.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His debut album, Second Sleep<\/em>, released earlier this month, is an instrumental affair flourishing with several different genres and influences that encapsulate Fischoff’s vast musical output to date. As Fischoff described, there’s a lot of elements from his previous musical endeavours in this album, “from my earlier lo-fi indie records, through my soundtrack work on films and the beat-oriented music I\u2019ve explored as a remixer and DJ”.<\/p>\n

Second Sleep<\/em> is a hodgepodge of wonderful, cinematic and timeless songs that will envelope you in its many layers.
