Mix Tape Radio: Episode 053

EPISODE 53 kicks off with some loveliness from YouYourself&I, and before it closes out with some Wearlyland, you'll hear stuff from Courtney Barnett, Modest Mouse, Flaming Lips and Justin Townes Earle singing about single mothers & absent fathers while his dad sings about not being anybody's daddy now.

Fandcamp: In the Shadows (Again)

“In The Shadows reminded me of the first time I heard Sturgill Simpson’s album ‘Metamodern Sounds in Country Music’ which ended up being my album of the year in 2014. This has elements of psych, punk, and classic country with its sweeping reverb and spit shined steel guitar. Think along the lines of Marty Stuart meets Lucero for an idea of what to expect. The entire discography of this TX punk is gold.”

20X11 | 220 SONGS FROM 2011

Since the year in question is 2011, and since 20X11 = 220, this yearly summary playlist consists of 220 nice tunes released in the year 2011. From 220 different artists. Reshuffled on the regular for repeat shuffles. You can’t argue with that math.

FANDCAMP: Skip a Sinking Stone

“Another beautiful piece of art by Jordan Lee. I've listened in full three times in a row this morning of the release, and while it falls a little behind Love's Crushing Diamond (which was my 2013 album of the year) for me, it is still a stunning piece of work.”

Fandcamp: Romantic Era

“Pat Moon's sophomore album seamlessly echoes 2016s Don't Hide from the Light. She again transcends her influences with beautifully crafted ambient-noir arrangements. Her vocals are nothing less than haunting and distant; often triggering goosebumps along with a subtle emotional response. Her music is my inner ethereal lullaby.”
