Cassette + Digital Album
The first Tapes and Tubes album we bought came with a postcard so we've taken some photos of where we lived and turned them into postcard cassette covers.

Each one is different and if you're local to Bristol you might recognise a few places.

The tapes themselves are as blue as the river isn't.

Enjoy them as you will.

about

A photo album stained by grey water and time.

Some pictures seem familiar and some only seem familiar.

Retroactive is a compilation of the half remembered dreams and forgotten memories of Austin Potter.

Containing a selection of the music that the Philadelphia based artist and musician has made over the last few years, Retroactive shows us how far Tapes & Tubes has come and just how far he will go.
