Tapes 'n Tapes is an indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota.

 According to interviews with the band, the cabin lacked functional indoor plumbing during the winter, forcing the band to "shit in the snow for four days", giving the album its rough sound.
 The success of the EP led to the band's second recording session, which produced their debut album "The Loon" in the following year.
