Here’s another little playlist/mixtape that i had recently posted on Instagram. It’s sort of a continuation of the mix that I posted a couple of days back. Once again, think of it as an autumnal primer. Something to listen to as the leaves shift colors and fall away. Once again, this one was put together at Spotify, so you can stream this collection over there. Enjoy!

Please support the artists that you find and enjoy. Buy their music, merchandise and tickets to see their shows. Supporting them is the only purpose in doing this blog. Contrary to the opinions of some, music blogs are a great way to discover new music, but there will only be so much new music to go around if these artists can’t afford to support themselves through their art and commerce. Only use these mixtapes as a guide to find something to throw your (financial and emotional) support behind.
“american dream” by LCD Soundsystem // Call the Police - Single(2017)
Not much to say here, except that this is probably my favorite song of the year so far in 2017. James MurphyandLCD Soundsystem are pretty perfect on this one - as they are on most others.
“Hands off the Antarctic” by Thom Yorke // Hands off the Antarctic (Single) 2018
Thom Yorke has had an active couple of years and i couldn’t be happier to hear the output. In addition to the release of his double album score for the forthcoming film, Suspiria, Yorke has put together a brooding and haunting new track for Greenpeace’s climate change initiative. The video uses footage of the Antarctic as shot from the Greenpeace ship, Arctic Sunrise. The result is a breathtaking snapshot of a dire situation that needs everyone’s support or else, we’re soon fucked. I’m looking at you, the year 2030.
“Hanoi 6” by Unknown Mortal Orchestra // IC-01 Hanoi (Out 10/26 via Jagjaguwar)
The end of October sees the release of another new album from Unknown Mortal Orchestra. This time around the band has gone instrumental, constructing shadowy soundscapes that layer on precise, math rock-esque percussion to create a jarringly intense framework that is then developed by lush guitars and icy synths. The lead single, “Hanoi 6” is further proof that UMO are some of the most exciting and adventurous musicians in the game at this moment. Highly recommended.
“Has Ended” by Thom Yorke // Suspiria - Original Film Score (Out 10.26.18 via XL)
There is no album that I’m more excited for at this moment more than Thom Yorke’s score for Luca Guadagnino’s re-imagining of the brilliant horror film, Suspiria. XL has released another track from the double-LP, this one entitled “Has Ended” and continues the haunting, ominously beautiful trend that began with the lovely, “Susprium” that was released last month. Absolutely wonderful.
