“Summer is pretty much over, which makes me sad—which I guess also makes me the target market for this lovely comp.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
HI54LO5: LITTLE CRIMINALS
“Pixar-esque scenes kept flashing in my head. So much so, I think I might've storyboarded a new Disney film. Somebody get me John Lasseter on the phone!”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DANNY BATEMAN (FROG)
“Walk 3-4 extra stops before you get on the train! Think of the things you miss down there.”
FANDCAMP: MIDDLING
“Piano and Cello accompany an unmistakably Finks-style song, funny and poignant, emotionally engaging, great arrangement and recording. I love it.”
HI54LO5: Trans
“Before listening to this album, I never once thought to myself “have Neil Young & Daft Punk ever been seen in the same room at the same time?”. Now it is all I can think of.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ PIP HALL
“Even though the internet is a marvellous creation and as a teenager I'm almost expected to go on my phone 24/7, I find it so nice not being sucked into a never ending black hole of celebrities, dog filters and Harambe memes.”
HI54LO5: THE HARDER THEY COME
“Reggae is Jamaican gospel music and, like me, you probably don't listen to enough of it. So, if your local congregation is a white flocks with a zero dread count, just start worshipping at home with albums like this.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ CHUCK
“I don't even know where to begin. I stammer and stutter like a nervous teenager asking someone to prom when I start recommending this. It makes me weak in the knees. It is brutal and hilarious and heartbreaking and will make you want to be a better person.”
EPISODE 067 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
EPISODE 67 kicks off with some old skool Bobbie Gentry (who I've been listening to thanks to Season 2 of Fargo) and before things close out with American “hey… is that the guy from Car Seat Headrest?” Holly, you'll hear ace tunes from Twerps, Joan Shelley, Matthew E White + a handful more makers of tasty ear candy.
FANDCAMP: STRANGERS
“Strangers is an evolution of what has come before but the core of what draws the listener in is still there, unchanged.”
HI54LO5: JUSTICE
“Lazer Fight Through Space + Seinfeld Bassline + Speaker 'Bout To Pop + Don’t Tell Me To Don't Touch The Dial + Arcade End Credits = Excellent Music For Hitting The Exercise Bike Extra Hard.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ KATIE VON SCHLEICHER
“Also everyone should work on the standup set they'll never do.”
