It’s a song that dips into the melting pot of sound that the Blur drummer accumulates from his passion for dipping in and out of radio stations the world over and landing on the distinctive sound of a Bollywood soundtrack that Dave splices together with a clipped beat. It’s a colorful tune, all rhythm and melody. **Dave Rowntree on “Tape Measure”:** “_Anxiety – an unpleasant emotion of inner turmoil and dread. We’re fundamentally herd animals, whose main defensive tactic is running away and hiding. We’ve no sharp claws or teeth to fight with. So we’re over sensitized to danger. We see shapes in the shadows, faces in the fire. Disaster always lurks on the grey edges of our consciousness. On the upside, come the zombie apocalypse, we anxious people will already be in hiding, leaving all you smug normies to have your brains eaten.”_ **Listen to “Tape Measure” / watch the visualizer **[**HERE**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=78ef5762de&e=615f2b8493) Dave Rowntree - Tape Measure (Official Video) [⌊Dave Rowntree - Tape Measure (Official Video)⌉⌊Dave Rowntree - Tape Measure (Official Video)⌉ Watch this video on YouTube **DAVE ROWNTREE “TAPE MEASURE”** “Tape Measure” follows a recent run of UK debut solo gigs, culminating in a sold- out show at London’s _Omeara_. _Radio Songs_ was produced by **Leo Abrahams **(_Brian Eno, Wild Beasts, Ghostpoet_).
