Congratulations guys! You've made it to the 26th week of the year! I think it's apt that I now introduce the first ever Mane Shakin' Folk mixtape, essentially a best-of-2011-so-far rundown. It's sick.
Here's what I had to say about it in the about section of the brand new bandcamp page:
Since we're now six months into 2011, 'July' is a collation of the best new music the year has had to offer so far. Track 1, for example, is the best song of 2011 thus far. Flitting frantically and randomly thereafter, we go from hip hop to folk to noise to post-dubstep to grunge to whatever else. I've tried to include something for everyone. Enjoy.
This is who is on it:
1. Grimes - Vanessa
2. Jhameel - Shut Up
3. Hunters - Deadbeat
4. Unknown Mortal Orchestra - How Can U Luv Me?
5. Shabazz Palaces - The Reeping Of All That Is Worthwhile (Noir Not Withstanding)
6. When Saints Go Machine - Kelly
7. Zumo Kollie - It Was on my Mind
8. Stay+ - Young Luv
9. Kris Ellestad - Shame
10. Tom Eddy - Bird Dog
11. Cold Showers - I Don't Mind
12. Niki & The Dove - The Fox
13. Boring Girls - Dream Fluff
14. The Bell Peppers - Bell Pepper Hop
15. Floppy God - An Adult Brought Me Here
16. Elles Infanit - Somethin
17. AlunaGeorge - Analyser (Last Japan's Buy Me A Spaceship And Fly Remix)
18. Bos Angeles - Beach Slalom
19. Arborea - Careless Love
20. Blithe Field - Crushing
