Blanket Truth, essentially Jon Manning, is an amorphous, folky, indie pop band based in Seattle, WA via Thousand Oaks, CA. They have released many, now out of print, cassette tapes since 2005 and have no intention on stopping. Spurred on by a love of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone and the Mountain Goats, Jon realized that it was possible to record songs with very few musical instruments and simple recording devices that can be found in most homes (hand held tape recorder, answering machine, boombox, etc). These songs have mostly been released on his own Lost Sound Tapes imprint, which has released tapes by other bands such as Red Pony Clock, Your Heart Breaks, and iji, as well as releasing tapes/CDs on Now Hereness Records, Sanitary Records, and Pop Monster (R.I.P.).
