[Guest Mixtape] Places: Morning Ride
Our latest guest mixtape comes from Nicolo Giarrano, the man behind one of the most compelling new acts in the Atlanta music scene, Places. Over just the last year, Places has output an impressive catalog of music, both in terms of quality and quantity. Anyway, here’s what he said about the mixtape he’s put together for us:
This is best listened to early in the morning, when the air outside is so still you wouldn’t dare disturb it, when you want to let the day ease into the music, allowing the morning birds to add accompaniment. This is for when your ears are too sensitive after their quiet night of dreaming. When the slight burning in your calves is outweighed by the breeze brushing over you as the sun peeks through the trees, when the weather is having an identity crisis. This is for when you know you’re going to have a good day.
Enjoy this twenty minute mix, and then don’t forget to catch the Places live band at the Goat Farm on Sunday (October 23rd) for The 4th Atlanta SOUL Project.
Tracklist:
1. Brian Eno : “Drift”
2. Boards of Canada : “Melissa Juice”
3. Clay Pitts : “Caribbean Sunrise”
4. Nancy Adams : “Love”
5. The Beach Boys : “Let’s Go Away For a While”
6. Koji Kondo : “Inside the Deku Tree”
7. Places : “High School Pretty”
8. Koushik : “Forest Loop”
9. The Avalanches : “Slow Walking”
10. Boards of Canada : “Over The Horizon Radar”

[Mp3] New Animal: “Still In Mind”
After already releasing more quality material this year than most bands do over an entire career, New Animal have given us yet another installment, a two song free digital release called Still In Mind. On top of that, they are currently working on an even newer project slated to be released on a label early next year. They’re also opening for Purity Ring (11/2) and Architecture in Helsinki (11/12) next month. Enjoy the latest from one of my favourite bands of 2011:

[Mp3] Kolossi: “How We Were”
Three quarters of the recently disbanded Roman Photos have continued on under a new moniker, Kolossi, and they just released the first taste of this new incarnation. It’s a five song record called The Chase, which deals in atmospheric dance music not dissimilar from Roman Photos. Here’s a track, and you can get the album for free below.

[Mp3] Vocabulary: “Things I Like”
Vocabulary just released a new EP called Good Things. For the most part, the six pieces feel more like sketches than finished songs, but they’re intriguing sounds and ideas nonetheless. I’m looking forward to catching Vocabulary live this Saturday (Oct. 8th) night at Wholly Roller’s showcase at The Cottage with Places, Gem Club, and Holy Spirit. Here’s the bonus track, my favourite from the new EP:

[Mp3] Cassandras: “Rise Up”
Cassandras just released a new three song record called Hari Pari Mandala Gosthi. Between it and their record from earlier this year, Cassandras has fast become one of my favourite Atlanta acts of 2011. Go listen to this incredible song, and then go download the whole album for whatever price you want:

[Mp3] The Electric Nature: “Super Space Disco Party”
One Atlanta artist who I should have mentioned much earlier and more often is Michael Potter aka The Electric Nature. In a city with a vibrant and extremely underrated noise/experimental scene, The Electric Nature has established itself as one of this year’s most compelling drone acts. Potter has already released a lot of great material earlier this year that I need to get around to blogging about, but he just released an even newer record called Drugs in Space. I love that title, and it’s certainly descriptive of the sort of music contained within. It would be a great soundtrack for if you were, oh, I don’t know, reading some science fiction or something. Anyway, I highly recommend you go pick up this record for whatever price you choose:

[Mp3] Faun and a Pan Flute: “peach is got it / getting a hair cut at 100MPH”
I finally sat down with Faun and a Pan Flute‘s latest record, I’m not Prostitute, and I’m really starting to dig it. At first listen, its mathy and seemingly ambling elements are a bit disorienting, but the more I hear it, the more fond I grow of this particular flavour of psych-pop. You can grab the five songs for whatever price you want from Primitive Patterns:

[Mp3] Cassandras: “Stars”
One great local record from the first half of the year that I had overlooked until just recently is Cassandras: 3 Songs. Over the course of four epic songs, Cassandras command a dynamic sound that puts a progressive twist on ’00′s-style indie rock. It’s an impressive EP, so go ahead and pick it up for free:

[Mp3] Djarum: “Bonkers”
These days, the hip-hop that seems most interesting to me tends to be on the instrumental side, and luckily in this town, there is no shortage of creative beats. The latest record that has me bobbing my head is Don’t Let Me Down by Djarum. If you’re looking for some laid back jams to vibe out to, go grab this for free:
