“Expected this to be good but, wow, I didn't expect it to be this awesome! If you love White Lighter don't hesitate, you'll love this!”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
HI54LO5: Is This Whatcha Wont?
“I'm Qualified To Satisfy You"—with its perfect combination of confidence and practicalness—is probably the best chat-up line ever. That Barry does not beat around the bush, even though that's exactly what he wants to do (if you catch my drift).
FANDCAMP: Among Horses I
“Dan Willson of Withered Hand lore is the best writer of melodies currently alive (believe me, I've looked). He hasn't written a song I don't adore. The streak continues here. I'm also happy to report that the songs from a Singer of Songs are also quite lovely, especially the last. Buy this and everything these two outfits have ever produced.”
HI54LO5: MURDER BALLADS
“This album is the bastard love child of an Iron Maiden and Barry White album—left abandoned in a wicker basket outside a notoriously dangerous pub at the end of the darkest road in some middle of nowhere village.”
EPISODE 080 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
EPISODE 080 kicks off with a banger from Carey, and before things close out with an aged-finer-than-wine gem from Yo La Tengo, you'll hear Sarah Jaffe, Psychic Ills, Aidan Knight, and a bunch more goodness.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ PAT MOON
“I like to go for walks with headphones or a camera every day. I think it's important to take some time to let your mind be still, to just breathe.”
FANDCAMP: Strange Family
“Nice Legs are a mix of several related indie-pop genres. Dream pop. c86. experimental. Bedroom pop. They pick up the best of all those and do something new with them. Very good."
MIX TAPE RADIO: EPISODE 063
EPISODE 63 kicks off with the lovingly lofi Katie Von Schleicher, and before things close out with an absolute surprise from LUKA, you'll hear: Joshua James singing Modest Mouse, Pet Cemetary sampling I Heart Huckabees, Ed Harcourt, my favourite chorus of the year from (Ariel Sharratt & Mathias Kom) and even more 'good for the ears' things.
FANDCAMP: FISH EYES EP
“Phenomenally talented songwriter with a great big sound. Expecting big big things to come. Definitely one to catch live, if ever possible.”
HI54LO5: Your Squaw Is On The Warpath
“This album is your lovely kind-hearted grandparent that unintentionally says something racist every now & again. Not because they are an intentionally shitty person, but because times are very different now and the goal posts are very not where they used to be.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SAM MOSS
“Starting the day without looking at a screen. When possible, don't look at your phone or computer until after breakfast. I have never regretted this decision.”
EPS 083 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
EPISODE 083 kicks off with Dominant Legs singing about their girls, and before Califone closes things up with Stitches, you'll hear Benjamin Shaw remixing Frog, Jessie Winslow, Angelo de Augustine and a bunch more. So locate the play button and grab your headphones.
