a.fluid.affect: volume IV
My friend Chris has begun a new blog that features different mixtapes from himself and others. Since I have featured a few mixtapes here on this blog, I volunteered my services. Here is a short mix of the artists on heavy rotation for the start of 2010.
This mix simply puts together some alt with some indie with some pop…whatever that means. The first song, “Heart to Fool”, by Natureboy killed on first listen. Haunting and visceral, the song contrasts heavily with Neon Indian’s pushing lo-fi electronica on “Psychic Chasms.” The female duo The Pack A.D. follows to rock with blues inspired goodness and confirms that Becky Black is a voice to be reckoned with. Rob Crow smooths out. The Boxer Rebellion pops rock. daranyck previews the upcoming season. The Rocketboys make intelligent pop. Finally, Sleigh Bells make for fun. Download and enjoy here:

Hey Carl, it's Bobby here,
As always, your taste in music sends me in another, welcome direction. Excellent.
I second that
It appears we've reached an overwhelming consensus. I'm definitely digging this mix and am looking forward to more.
