This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.

“sprawled on the floor, not sleeping, though not quite awake, feeling the breeze and the cold ground, the sun moves out from behind the trees to bathe you in light. you didn't ask for this; you might have enjoyed your darkness, but you enjoy it nonetheless.”
EPISODE 57 kicks off with a BJM track that's cool enough to make it ok to wear sunglasses at night in its presence, and before things close out with the lovely 'Sunrise Sunset', you'll hear stuff from Gobloots, MMJ, Patrick Watson, Tiger Waves, The Staves and a bunch more great stuff.
“Some pretty legit creepin going on here. Everything is familiar enough to feel odd when it doesn't match your memories. Feels like a good soundtrack to a night of contemplative recollection, itself an act of reshaping memory through recall and rewrite, the fuzzy qualities of lossy burn in.”
“A superb album and one that's treasures will, I'm certain, continue to unfold as time progresses. Includes some very very dreamy melodies indeed.”
Episode 34 not only features a bunch of great songs, but it is also the 2nd time I've made a mix that has included Benjamin Shaw and Mos Def on it. I'm pretty sure I am the only person who has ever done that even once, for whatever that's worth to you.
“Fantastic Bedroom Pop with Psychedelic and Antifolk elements to it. Reminds me a bit of Ween crossed with late-era Pavement in places!”
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.
“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.”
"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.”
“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.”
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.
