• Megafaun Music Video Launched on Pitchfork

  We are oh-so excited to announce the launch of our music video for “Car­olina Days” by Megafaun on Pitch­fork TV.

  Thank you, Megafaun and Hometapes for trust­ing us to col­lab­o­rate with you and thank you Pitch­fork for help­ing push this cool thing our friends have helped us make out to the world. We have sur­prised our­selves with how much we love this piece and that most cer­tainly is a tes­ta­ment to find­ing really amaz­ing part­ners. We can only hope this is the begin­ning to many big projects to come with Hometapes.
