Tape Deck Heart debuted at No. 2 on the U.K. album charts.In Frank own words, A Tape Deck Heart is someone who has a love of music above anything else. I dont miss cassettes, but I am of an age like many of us whose music listening life was defined by [the Walkman] and C90 tapes. This album is about self-examination, running through your own faults, about change, and about ending. Something like that.SIDE A:1. Recovery2. Losing Days3. The Way I Tend To Be4.
