„An 11 pm slot on a Monday night isn’t the most opportune time to be making your U.K. debut. The audience had drifted away about half an hour earlier as the third of three synth-based acts neared the end of his set. Someone said it looked like Trupa Trupa had been landed with ‘the graveyard slot’, but then it all changed. The audience swelled to around a hundred as the four-piece Polish band took to the small, low level stage.

„Blue Tapes and X-Ray Records describe themselves as purveyors of ‘secular drones and spiritual pop’. Wild Anima, the opening act at Cafe Oto on the label’s first London showcase, describes herself on SoundCloud as a ‘bird pop’ act, and though her accompanying performer waves feathers around with a New Age mysticism for the last of her three songs, her eerie soundscapes with euro pop melodic sensibilities typify the breadths of the label’s coterie musically.
