As I am getting ready to visit Europe for the first time and am feeling just great about that and the start of the summer, I figured I might as well make a mix to celebrate this grand occasion. A lot of late 90s British AM inspired pop on this. It's kind of strange but this mix goes back in time for the most part and it gets a bit crazier. No doubt the Panda Bear record has been on my mind and I seem to allude to it with the artwork (a nod to my 2 favorite record covers this year) and with the inclusion of wanting to go towards Disco Inferno. Their record Disco Inferno Goes Pop is a milestone in sample based art rock and it is the gold standard -- Panda Bear's Good Girl/Carrots samples a camera flash bulb and this immediately sends me to one of the most mind-blowing tracks from said Disco Inferno album, New Clothes For The New World. The album art of Person Pitch with the bats captures that song well. There is a sweet connection between these two records in that they were both made by relatively young and limited musicians who obviously have heard an overwhelming amount of music and jump into the game head first. Also, the organic drum and bass sound was something that many British musicians (including the Disco Inferno clique) experimented with in the mid 90's. Flying Saucer Attack's wonderful Mirror comes to mind. Anyways sorry to wonder off a bit. I hope you like the mix.
