McCrank's Juke - February Mix (2010)
McCrank's Juke - February Mix (2010)
You'll have to excuse the dark mix that has shaped up to be February on McCrank's Juke - February Mix (2010). #McCranksJuke - It must be the winter chill or the bleak look into the future, I see. From winter favorites "Black Celebration" to the first glimmer look at Peter Hook's Freebase UK (now re-branded The Light). This mix tape, includes mostly the old favorites from the 80's mixed with the electronic induced throw-back bands, like Yacht, Cold Cave, and Apparatjik (featuring members of ColdPlay and A-Ha, no really). I find I really like The Soft Pack and up and coming band Small Black. Both indie bands flavor a bit of punk and a dip of the synth and hail from San Diego and Brooklyn, respectively. What indie and garage soundz are supposed to be, raw - rthym, and fookin' fresh, not over-hyped and over-produced (yet). Let me know if these guys appear at SXSW this year. Lastly, check out Houdini's Last Act - another favorite, but more rock/blues dust-up that sounds like Sun, Kill, Moon. Fookin' sounds for February, dust-up and get to UR record store/download site ad grab up some of these to explore (including the new one from Xiu Xiu). PS. Yeah the barfing shocked me too, so once is enough video wise.
