“Fantastic Bedroom Pop with Psychedelic and Antifolk elements to it. Reminds me a bit of Ween crossed with late-era Pavement in places!”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in QUICK HITS
MIX TAPE RADIO: EPISODE 062
EPISODE 62 kicks off with a lovely day dreamer from Vetiver and before it closes out with a first taste from an upcoming Lowpines release, you'll hear tunes from Danielle Fricke, Benjamin Shaw, Joe Sampson and a bunch more.
FANDCAMP: MY WOMAN
“This album gets a lot of things right. It is beautifully written, and Olsen's vocal delivery is amazing of course, but what I love the most about it is how naturally it manages to be both heavy and cheerful; slow and upbeat. I reckon this will be on my playlist for quite some time.”
Fandcamp: Rap Album Two
"Think of a Dilla nerd who loves MF and was inspired to turn his diary into a rap album. and unlike how that sounds its actually really good.”
Fandcamp: Wind Vane - EP
“Maybe I'm a sucker for "_grove" bands, but this is great. Everything is well composed. However, the vocals are absolutely stunning with the instrumentation. Hard to imagine a better match.”
Mix Tape Radio: Episode 056
Kicks off with loveliness from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin and before Robert Lester Folsom starts singing 'see you later', you'll hear: a corker from Alabama Shakes, Mountain Man covering a mountain man, GRANDMAS with the all the As taken out, Will Johnson, T.Rex, The Weather Station and a bunch more great stuff.
FANDCAMP: Stranger in the Alps
"hauntingly beautiful, these songs pull emotions out of me like long noodles in a hot soup which then I can more or less tenderly soak back up"
FANDCAMP: Wherever You Go, I'll Protect You
“I'm a bit of a sucker for jams that mix in old audio samples; always seems to trigger a gravitational force that pulls me further into the headphones for a closer listen. This EP has got that thing. And you’ll find yourself wanting to go back to the start once you get to the end."
Fandcamp: Thought Loops
"Awesome different but enlightening"
SubmitCloud | February 2018
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for February 2018.
HI54LO5: WORLD OF ECHO
More beautiful & way less weird than I went in expecting, mostly due to me being sceptical of people using the term "genius" & “before its time" & a little bit just not trusting people in general. Unrelated: I kept finding myself thinking “I bet José González really loves this record.”
Mix Tape Radio: Episode 060
EPISODE 060 kicks off with some Wilder Maker and closes out with a track from that Elliott Smith cover album from Seth Avett & Jessica Lea Mayfield that I totally forgot had happened. In between those, you'll hear some new-to-me Isaac Brock solo stuff, newish Beirut and oldish Cory Branan… and a whole bunch more.
