Press Play! Summer is in full force, July has been a great month to us. We’ve got the reemergence of Wolf Parade!! new song from St. Vincent, records from Arcade Fire and Toro y Moi, and tons of stuff in between. There’s a little bit of everything in

Halfway through the year, and still on a roll with such great, fresh music coming out each month. This month’s mixtape is super exciting as always, there’s a great variety of music that I’m excited about. High on my list is Son Little’s Blue Magic, which

I’m super excited to put this mixtape out, May was a super fun month of music, from a bunch of bands I have previously loved, and a lot lot lot of new bands putting out really fresh stuff. So if you are interested in a mix that spans Dale

Another fantastic month of new music, and it was quite a feat just to get this down to 40 songs. Let us know what we missed, or what you like in the comments below.

Another great month of music, almost too much of it, to keep the format of 40 songs from the month I ended up pulling a few favorites. But there are some great songs in here, and I know I will continue to come back to this mixtape as the year
First Aid Kit
First Aid Kit is sharing a new single called “You Are The Problem Here” in honor of International Women’s Day. It’s a foray into a very different style for them, and explicitly condemns sexual assault. It’s a really powerful track, where you can feel the palpable sense

February is always a fantastic month for new music. With SXSW right around the corner, it’s a huge driver for new music and this year was another great one. Now that February is over and we are two months down into this year, it’s time once again to
I got out of the habit of collecting / curating and distributing mixtapes back when mp3’s became harder and harder to come by. Since then, I’ve been putting together yearly song dumps that are a great catch-all to keep up with all the new music that comes our way.
Newport Folk Fest
Our favorite festival (by far) is about to sell their 2017 stock tomorrow and I feel like it’s my duty to impress upon the fact that if you haven’t gone, or you are thinking about it this year that I can unequivocally say it will be worth it
Alex Frankel
Holy Ghost!’s Alex Frankel is dropping his own solo EP and we just got a taste of the first single, the eponymous “Negative Space,” a delicious synthpop affair with a little disco flair. It’s got a killer groove, it bubbles and pops, and will have you chair dancing
Tallest Man on Earth
If there’s one thing Kristian Matsson excels at, it’s writing beautiful songs that seem to swirl around as if being propped up by the lightest wind. New single, “Rivers,” dances in just that way with delicately finger plucked guitar notes, subtle horns surround the sound that paints a

In 2011, I wrote lovingly about one of my favorite records of the year titled, Canary, by the Athens OH band Southeast Engine. It was full of wonderfully penned stories about an Appalachian family at the turn of the 20th century. Since 2012 the band has wound down, but with
