Tap Tap: Lanzafame

Original Recordings Group

British band led by Thomas Sanders with their debut album, Lanzafame. In March of 2007, the late David Bowie listed Tap Tap´s "100,000 Thought" at number three in his top ten songs of the moment in the Times!

"Perhaps intentionally, the longest song (at five minutes) is the first, "100,000 Thoughts" serves as a good statement of purpose thanks to the brisk but brawling drums, the immediate if minimal acoustic/electric guitar melody, and Sanders' unquestionably ghost-of-David Byrne (and a bit of Andy Partridge) vocals. But after that it's one quick hit after another, and while this is ultimately pleasant instead of deathless -- a little more variety in the musical approach wouldn't hurt, though the general formula is attractive regardless -- Tap Tap shows definite promise throughout.""- Ned Raggett, allmusic.com

"Tap Tap is the wondrous new creation from Pete And The Pirates' Thomas Sanders. 11 tracks of gloriously wayward lo-fi indie that touches on Arcade Fire, Belle And Sebastian, Pavement and even the Kinks. Effortlessly immaculate songs that soar to the sky and float on fluffy melodic clouds but with the constant danger of DIY indie storms. Highly recommended!!" - Piccadilly Records
