“A really special release from Chad. Feels looser than most of his recent major releases, in a very satisfying and intimate way. The freewheeling, exciting experimentation is all here, as usual, and the songwriting on point.”
Just because we’re only a few years into the 20/20s, don’t think that doesn’t mean there hasn’t already been way too many nice songs from way too many nice artists to count — AND — we’ve currently got a nice mix of 95 of ‘em over on this MOUN.TOWN/FM mix cd playlist, with “shuffle updates” done on an imprecise timeline. |-> OPEN ON SPOTIFY
“A classic piece of electronic music, still sounds fresh and haunting after all these years.”
“Her tone, her cadence, the way she articulates the sound of the words is captivating. I think of Violeta Parra (!!!), Vashti Bunyan, Aldous Harding, Joni Mitchell when listening to her.”
A mix of a bunch of great music coming out ‘South of America’ (and for playlist purposes this includes Mexico and all the countries in Central America, South America and the Caribbean). So pack some loose, breathable fabrics and go grab the headphones.
Canada gets a lot of stick for our overt niceness, being obsessed with hockey and a bunch of other ‘simple folk’ stereotypes—but people often forget that in between the maple syrup free-basing we do to distract from our colonial past/present, we also make a lot of really good music. This playlist highlights some of it, from coast to unceded coast.
“What a happy surprise to have new music from Daniel Bachman to start the year! Joyful tunes.”
“Earth Trip brings us another round of country-fried cosmos layered in brooding bass, dreamy slide and twangy jam. Every bit as compelling as Summerlong was last summer.”
“If you have to drive any further than a few KMs (or miles for y’all south of the border, eh), you're gonna want to have a good mix for a little dashboard drumming and open window karaoke running man.”
“My first exposure to Mount Eerie, didn't realize how often I would come back to the catharsis, and now the nostalgia of the simple worries from the before.”
A HI54 Mix CD made from all the cassette tapes I've found while dating someone who LOVES going to thrift stores A LOT. It can be slim picking in the cassette bins around here, but when you do find something, they're about a quarter each. And ain't nobody can complain about that.
“The guitar work on display here is just phenomenal. little waterfalls and whirlpools swirling around your head for 40 minutes. You can't beat that!”
