Bias Tape

The music of Bias Tape is crafted by Amal Bisharat as lead singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Having spent many years studying the vocal techniques of the early baroque style, and earning her BA degree in Vocal Performance in 1998, she brings a depth of vocal range and ability to the indie/folk songs she writes.

Other members include Tom Huber on guitar; Bob Smolenski cello/ukulele; and Michael Russell on drums. Collectively, the band has worked with a wide variety of producer/musicians including Steve Albini (Pixies, PJ Harvey, Nirvana, Will Oldham), Kramer (Luna, Galaxy, 500, Low), Scott Solter, and Desmond Shea.

Bias Tape's first full-length CD,
"A Part", was recorded at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco with sound engineer Chris von Sneidern. Released in 2008, it's songs speak in essence to the idea of continuum, that though our perspectives consume us we are but one part of an evolving, continuous whole.
