"With 'Right Where We Wanted' we want to send a message of support to people who want to do things a new way, with forethought and compassion.  This song's a joyous opposition to the stewards of bigotry and closed-mindedness.  S on T does not think the future should have to be like the 1950's but with smart phones," said Shapes on Tape, regarding the release of "Right Where We Wanted," the second single from the band's forthcoming, second E.P., "No Bummers."  It's a slow burning track that builds to a soaring crescendo.  It's got the signature Shapes on Tape mixture of the contemporary with new wave and post-punk sounds.

Shapes on Tape is a Brooklyn based musical project whose dynamic blend of rock and electronic instrumentation moves from dreamy, psychedelic ballads, through pulsing dance anthems, and into abrasive power pop. 

Genre hopping producer/multi-instrumentalist/90’s groovebox enthusiast/ Adam Kruckenberg, formerly of midwest glam legend Vibralux, and guitarist/songwriter, Jason Matuskiewicz, a veteran of beloved Lexington, KY band Candidate, began collaborating 2014. They soon took Jason’s effortless punk-tinged folk songs in a far more electronic direction. 

With the assistance of Justin Craig, Grammy nominated producer and S on T certified genius, they recorded their debut E.P., "Motivational Speakers," released in March 2005.  The team is set to release their second E.P. "No Bummers," whenever it's done.

Matuskiewicz’s lyrics and straightforward style always flirt with the relationship between high and low concept, taking on complex social and emotional issues with an abrupt 3 chord frankness that never takes itself seriously, while Kruckenberg’s synthetic reimaginings take the songs into lush and dynamic sound that is simultaneously unusual and instantly accessible.
