Dusty Delta Loops – Lo-Fi Blues from the Ghost End of the Tape

๐ŸŽž️ Dusty Delta Loops – Lo-Fi Blues from the Ghost End of the Tape


Welcome to the twilight zone of tone. Dusty Delta Loops is the debut instrumental album from fictional blues phantom Blind Tape Jackson. A looping, lo-fi odyssey of Delta slide guitar, analog hiss, ghostly rhythms, and porchlight ambiance—this is blues from the ghost end of the tape.

No vocals. No filters. Just raw loops, steel bends, and the fading hum of lost reels.


๐ŸŽญ Meet Blind Tape Jackson

Blind Tape Jackson isn’t blind in the eyes—just blind to the slickness of the modern world. Born of duct-taped tape decks and worn frets, he loops forgotten blues spirits into slow-cooked instrumentals soaked in hiss, delay, and twilight tone.

  • ๐ŸŽธ Gear: Resonator slide guitar (Gretsch G9200)
  • ๐Ÿ“ผ Format: Tape decks, reel-to-reel, field recorders
  • ๐ŸŒ’ Visual Aesthetic: Grainy motel signs, dusk porchlights, cassette decay
  • ๐Ÿˆ Mascot: "Lo-Fi Louie" – a ghost cat flickering through album art
“Every loop tells a story—hissed, cracked, and true.”
