Small-Time Machine is the next chapter in the career of one of the true new voices of the 21st Century.
Cassettes Won't Listen has had two digital-only releases, the EP Nobody's Moving and the instrumental LP The Quiet Trial. Both records have received a lot of attention, including radio tastemakers WOXY and KEXP, SPIN, the NY Press, the notorious Perez Hilton as well as landing an exclusive front page feature on Myspace.com and being named one of Urb's Next 100 for 2007.
In the wake of these releases, a wide range of artists, commissioned countless Cassettes Won't Listen remixes, including El-P, (featuring Trent Reznor), Midlake, Asobi Seksu, The Postmarks, Dr. Octagon, Pela, Dirty on Purpose, Mr. Lif, and Morcheeba, amongst others.
And this Decemeber, in conjunction with Music For Robots, Cassettes Won't Listen released a free digital-only EP, One Alternative, which is a collection of covers Jason recorded of some of his favorite 90's indie rock standards, available exclusively at www.cassetteswontlisten.com
Cassettes Won't Listen embodies an otherworldly and distinctive blend of electronica and indie rock, with comparisons being drawn to the Postal Service, Beck, Hot Chip, The Notwist, and DJ Shadow. His live show blasts at a frantic pace with Jason hopping from turntables to guitar to keys and vocals as a true one-man band. Small-Time Machine is the sum of all these parts.
