Mix #16

Look at all the peaches! And behold, a new mix for May. 

Mix #16

The Passenger - dir. Michelangelo Antonioni

That new Aldous Harding video is great - Amish but make it big. Other new music from Lafawndah, Weyes Blood (her underwater artwork is very cool), Cate Le Bon, Sharon Van Etten (Despite going back to Tramp all the time, I've been slow on coming to this record, however, this is great - heartfelt Springsteen vibes), Fat White Family (such a disco banger), Yo La Tengo, The Comet Is Coming (jazz bass), Kindness, Edwyn Collins, KOKOROKO and Hot Chip return - rejoice!  

New things to me: NOV3L, Gaijin Blues, Nardeydey, Spelling, Acetone's version of the Midnight Cowboy theme (dreamy), Charlotte AdigĂ©ry, Alan Hull, Jake Xerxes Fussell (top voice too), Anna Domino and Weval. 

And then splashes of Stereolab (love their art so much), Silver Jews (had I forgotten about David Berman's voice - straight there), Channel Tres, Alex Chilton (from Big Star), Gorky's, The 5th Dimension, Wiley... 

And yes, I grew up in Streatham.
