about

Originally released as a 14-song limited edition vinyl LP to accompany the deluxe edition of the Savage Impressions book published
by P22 Type Foundry in February 2020, Tape Excavation was compiled by Savage Republic and Independent Project
Records founder Bruce Licher after scouring through dozens of boxes of cassette tapes from rehearsals, demos, and other
recordings to find previously unheard nuggets from his various aural endeavors. Tape Excavation is filled with a wide range of musical
expression, from his early, no-wave inspired first recordings for the Project 197 EP on IPR in 1980, through previously unheard
recordings from his groups Savage Republic & Scenic (and various offshoots), a wide range of solo recordings (some
created as demos for his fellow band members to be able to listen to new song ideas), collaborations with Henry Frayne
(Lanterna) and Michael Krassner (Boxhead Ensemble), to a rehearsal demo from his current musical endeavor SR2, a powerful
collaboration with his wife Karen Nielsen Licher. Eight additional tracks have been added to the original fourteen on this expanded
re-issue for over 70 minutes of listening intrigue. This Tape Excavation compilation contains 22 compelling windows into the ongoing
evolution of Licher’s sound and musical vision.
