Ahoy. Just posted a new mix on 8tracks.
Tracklist
1. T. Rex - Mambo Sun - I've been on a huge T. Rex kick lately. Just got Tanx from a coworker last week, but Electric Warrior is still my go-to album. This is one of the best album openers of all time.
2. Harlem - Friendly Ghost - a song off their new album, Hippies, which was just release a few weeks ago. Such a fun tune.
3. Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Round and Round - a song off lo-fi pioneer Ariel Pink's album Before Today, to be released in June. You might need to give this one a couple of listens before it clicks. Glad to see him getting more recognition these days.
4. Twin Sister - Phenomenons - see previous post.
5. Casiokids - Finn Bikkjen! - a song from the Norwegian band's May release Topp Stemning På Lokal Bar. And no, they're not singing in English.
6. Alec Ounsworth - Over and Over - a great stripped down version of a tune from CYHSY's s/t debut, which was released 5 years ago this spring. Wow, seems like only yesterday.
7. So Many Wizards - Nico - a song by a promising LA band I need to learn more about.
8. Woods - Suffering Season - excellent Daytrotter version of a song that will appear on their upcoming LP At Echo Lake.
You can download 4 of the songs here.
nice debut mix.
ReplyDeletetransitions are solid, especially Phenomenons -> Finn Bikkjen and basically all the others that followed. Over & Over works...to my surprise. although, Friendly Ghost is an outlier for this group, drop it like its hot.
overall: B+ grade.
