Original Post

On August 11th 2019, user IntelligentBread5 posted an almost indecipherable recording of a tape to the r/lostwave subreddit. The tape was so distorted that barely any words or phrases could be made out, leaving the community to title the track after the month it was uploaded.

IntelligentBread5 claimed:

"Help identify this song

Hello

Several years ago, at least 10 years I think, I bought some cassettes while abroad in Europe. I can't remember exactly where, as it was a coach/ferry trip in several countries. We went to a market/yard sale type place and I bought a box of cassettes because there were some good bands in there (nirvana, AC/DC, MJ) when I got home after about 1 or 2 weeks, I played them and was really p\*ssed to find most of them were really bad quality and damaged. Under the cassettes with actual labels, there were some with hand written labels like mixtapes and some with faded/sunbleached (?) labels. Most of these are either completely blank, unbearable quality or somewhat audible. This tape was labeled by hand cassette 4, written over a faded/sunbleached label that I can't make out. The first track on it is this song, and when I first heard it I was hooked, I really want to find out who made it so I can hear it more clearly. If anyone recognizes this, please let me know the band of origin. Legit, I signed up to reddit today just to post this, as i've tried quite a few forums that ended with nothing."
