"You may not have heard about Cassettes Won't Listen but my guess is that you will. And probably very soon." - Scissorkick

NewYork, NY - After fans and critics embraced what they believed to be a full band, Cassettes Won’t Listen has now been revealed as the singular workings of producer and multi-instrumentalist Jason Drake. Not only did he write, produce, and record his Nobody’s Moving EP under the name of four different “band members”, he has also secured his spot in the world of remixing. His latest projects? Morcheeba and a remix for The Return of Dr. Octagon along with preparation for work on remixes for Pela, Midlake, and Brookville.
The remix for Morcheeba's single "Everybody Loves A Loser" can be downloaded for free here.

As co-founder of the Dope Lotus crew, Jason Drake has been creating beautifully neck-snapping beats since he can remember, and is ever-transforming his daily experiences into life soundtracks. He has communicated his productions through various musical personas over the years, the latest being Cassettes Won’t Listen.

“I approached Cassettes Won’t Listen from the mind of a hip hop producer from the beginning, the end result is what gave me the idea to create the band.” Drake says “I’ve always produced beats as well as written songs so it was only a matter of time before some of my music was being mistaken for something other than a solo project.” The critically-acclaimed single “Cutting Balloons” has been met with strong support from leading internet radio station WOXY, and reached #1 on the station’s Top 20 charts after just weeks of being added to the rotation. The video for “Cutting Balloons” is currently in production.

Recorded in a penthouse apartment in Tribeca, the sounds enveloped on CWL’s latest release Nobody’s Moving are a fusion of acoustic and electric guitars, synthesizers, drum machines, turntables and samplers. A self-taught musician, Drake has truly realized a platform for merging his vast range of instrumental expertise. Often the song craft begins with writing songs on guitar, other times the keyboards or a sample. No matter what sparks the inspiration, Drake brilliantly weaves the various elements into a complex and carefully crafted collage of sonic experimentation. Cassettes Won’t Listen embodies an otherworldly and distinctive blend of electronica and indie rock, with comparisons being drawn to the Notwist, Postal Service and Beck.

CWL has been awarded the much sought after artist feature on myspace.com for the
week of April 17th.
