OKlahoma Boomer

OKlahoma Boom is a four-track Tape Lab EP built on a neat little collision of ideas: “OK Boomer,” Oklahoma, and the corporate language of reinvention. Recorded live with a Kaossilator and Yamaha keyboard, the project samples an audiobook called Reinventing Yourself, using its business-world advice about adapting to change as a strange, funny, and oddly fitting framework for Tape Lab’s own creative philosophy.

The music is chill, wavy, and loose in that classic Tape Lab way—part live electronic jam, part outsider meditation, part thrift-store futurism. Beneath the humor, OKlahoma Boom makes a real point: old technology still has value when it is reused with intention. A cassette deck, a keyboard, a sampler, or a forgotten piece of gear can become powerful again when it is given a dedicated task.

Across tracks like “Based Statement,” “OKlahoma Boomer,” “What is Failure?” and “Ever Hear,” Tape Lab turns corporate self-help language into a mellow, analog-minded statement about adaptation, reuse, and making something new from what the world keeps trying to throw away.
