Black Tape for a Blue Girl is an American darkwave band formed in 1986. Their music takes on elements of gothic, ethereal, ambient and neo-classical music.
Black Tape for a Blue Girl is fronted by Projekt Records manager Sam Rosenthal. Their lineup has changed significantly over their career. The current lineup has Rosenthal on programming and keyboards, Lisa Feuer on flute and vocals, Elysabeth Grant (also of Rachael's.Surrender) on vocals and violin, Brett Helm (of Audra) on vocals, and Michael Laird (of Unto Ashes) on acoustic guitar and vocals. The most notable former member is the long-time vocalist Oscar Herrera.
The style of Black Tape for a Blue Girl is often described as "gothic", though their large catalog of music does not often conform with general standards of gothic or darkwave music. The music could be described as an ambient soundscape of analog synth and old world instruments (both real and synthesized) mixed with singing on poetic and melancholy themes. Much of the lyric writing is done by Rosenthal himself and often explores powerful emotions of love, vulnerability, isolation, loss, jealousy, and passion.
One of Black Tape's fans' best loved albums is Remnants of a Deeper Purity, though The Scavenger Bride is also popular.[citation needed]
