Tape Deck Heart is the fifth studio album by English singer-songwriter Frank Turner, released on 22 April 2013 on Xtra Mile in the UK, and on Polydor / Interscope worldwide. Produced by Rich Costey, the album was preceded by the single, 'Recovery.'
Described as a 'break-up album,' Tape Deck Heart was written and recorded following the collapse of a long-term romantic relationship. Turner stated: 'There’s a lot of stuff on this record about loss and failure in relationships, about what happens when something that was supposed to be timeless runs out of time.'[12]
Tape Deck Heart has been given a Parental Advisory label due to the profanity heard on tracks 'Plain Sailing Weather' and 'Good & Gone'. Keygen. The title of the album is taken from a lyric in the song 'Tell Tale Signs'.

Background and recording[edit]
After extensive touring in support of Turner's fourth studio album, England Keep My Bones (2011) - which included an appearance during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony and a headline show at Wembley Arena - Turner and his backing band, The Sleeping Souls, flew to Los Angeles, in October 2012, to enter the studio with producer Rich Costey, seeking a 'big, warm expansive rock sound.'[13] Regarding the band's experience in Los Angeles, Turner stated, 'It’s such a cliché – bands reach a certain level of success, go to L.A. to record an album. I was nervous about recording outside the UK because my music sounds English and I like that, but in fact, it didn’t make any difference. We stayed at the Holiday Inn next door and didn’t finish until dark every day, so I scarcely saw the sun shine.'[14]
Regarding Costey's production, Turner noted, 'I will say that I think the production is a massive step up for me. [..] The man is a fucking genius.'[12] Nicknamed, 'Sauron, the all seeing eye,' by Turner and his bandmates, Costey often made the band perform multiple takes in the studio, with Turner stating: 'He brings an almost autistic eye for detail. He made me do 42 vocal takes at one point, with the encouragement ‘I know there’s something in there'.'[15]
Writing and composition[edit]
Explaining the album's title, Turner stated, 'A 'Tape Deck Heart' is someone who has a love of music above anything else. I don’t miss cassettes, but I am of an age - like many of us - whose music listening life was defined by Walkmen and C90 tapes.'[15]
Comparing the album's lyrical and thematic content to his previous album, England Keep My Bones (2011), Turner noted: 'This record isn't about England at all — I did that last time round. This album is about self-examination, running through your own faults, about change, and about ending. Something like that.'[16]
Regarding the track, 'Four Simple Words', Turner stated, 'I think that song is something of a nod towards Queen, stylistically. But it’s not something that markedly runs through the record as such, I don’t think.'[12] Turner elaborated, 'I tell people it's about dancing but it's really a song about punk rock and the pleasantly surprising revelation that, at 31, my ethics and approach to music are the same as when I was 15.'[13]
Artwork[edit]
The artwork for the album was done by SWFL tattoo artist Heather Ann Law.
Release[edit]
On 25 December 2012, Turner released a free download of 'Four Simple Words' on his website, backed with a demo version of the song, 'Cowboy Chords'. The opening track and first single, 'Recovery', premiered on Radio 1, on 4 March 2013 and was released on iTunes the following day. https://golisrael.netlify.app/atmosphere-vst-keygen-download.html.
The deluxe edition of the album contains six additional tracks, with Turner noting, 'Track listing an album is a fine art, and usually a pretty agonising process. I’m glad I've had the opportunity to do the extended version for this one – all these songs belong together. That said, I think an album is a piece of art in its own right and can be too long, so it’s worth making the twelve-track definitive version. Choosing what makes it and what doesn’t is agonising, though.'[12]
