“Heart breaking, sincere, irresistibly charming and just an immense treat of an indie rock album to listen to. Much has been said about vocalist Frances Quinlan's rather captivating and even idiosyncratic vocals and this album shows it off wonderfully in all of it's power, angst and vulnerability.”
Since my iPhone battery decided to go dead, and since my 3 nieces were coming for a mountain town visit for the last week of June, I decided to take a ‘mostly offline’ break. BUT… since I had some “lost episodes” in the pocket, I scheduled some Mixcloud uploads for the usual Monday & Thursday mixes. So here’s MTR EPS 030.
A monthly playlist for the Soundcloud-linked submissions that get approved on Submithub for a HI54 Mix CD feature during the month of June 2021.

“I have 3 little nieces. They are currently 12, 11 and 8. This is a playlist I keep updated with songs I think / hope they might like, that I also like.

“An intention to elevate the human spirt, feel notes held like the hands of someone you love. Warmth and compassion distilled into this little album, listen to the spit of human connectivity.”
A house party is a special breed. Usually the sound is selected by an amateur committee of a real mixed bag of tastes. If you're not too careful, the music can get extra cheesy and lame and things get sloppy way too fast. It can also get too cool for school and no fun. It's a fine line. This mix is made with those two worries in mind.
