“Delicate is the perfect title… fragile yet powerful… the kind of album that gets into every part of your brain, heart and soul. I'll be on this one for a good bit now.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in EVENS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ MAGANA
“Go outside! Life is so much better when you have real air and real sun and all that good stuff. Maybe even go camping! But if you can't go camping... just make sure you go outside at least one time when the sun in shining.”
EPS 089 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Things kick off with a Hayes Carll tune that hits closer to home if you've recently started anew in a new town, and before things close of with The Supremes, you'll hear: a dope "Paint It Black" cover, Molly Burch, Jim Ford and a bunch more.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ HENRY DEMOS
“The next time you travel, don't stay in a hotel, hostel, Air BNB, or whatever. Just see what happens. Yeah this might seem silly since you can book a cheap place in minutes now. Fuck that. The stories you'll come home and the people you'll meet will be well worth it.”
FANDCAMP: PUBERTY 2
“The beauty of this album hits you like a baseball bat.”
HI54LO5: Always On My Mind
“The 'Benjamin Button on college trip to Aspen' cover pulls you in. The 'every track could be a last song of the night slow jam' holds you close.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JON DOYLE
“This one is hard. I'm still working my way through a haul of chocolates that good old Chris Cringle brought at Christmas (it's like Willy Wonka's storeroom in the house) so maybe I could recommend a few cocoa-based treats?”
FANDCAMP: THROUGH THEM FINGERS YOURS AND MINE
“For days when you get up before everybody else."
HI54LO5: AEROSMITH S/T
“This hardly sounds like the Aerosmith that I knew when I was listening to them in the 90s. Which makes me feel less dumb when remembering how a young me once thought that 'Dream On' was a Led Zep song.”
EPISODE 044 // THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Things kick off with a track from Shakey Graves and finish with a track from the Growlers. In between that you'll find something from Gorgeous Bully, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy craving dumplings (again), Foxes In Fiction, Field Report, Field Medic… and A bunch of other great artists that don't start with 'F'.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JONATHAN CHIN (CEREAL & SOUNDS)
“Stop worrying what everyone else is doing. Drink more water. Cut down on the caffeine (or at least I've tried to). Practice more empathy and cool it with the narcissism.”
HI54LO5: BLUE
"Makes you feel like you're in a coffee commercial reading the Arts section while soaking up the first light of the morning. Even if you are actually doing junior Sudoko on a rainy afternoon in the same clothes you wore yesterday."
