I’m late on this month’s mix, so I’m not going to bother going on about it too much. How could you not like Kitty, Daisy & Lewis‘ bluesy Canned Heat cover? The Nouvelle Vague track is another guilty pleasure cover that made it in to this one. Finale makes it on to another mix, from his album deep with amazing tracks… This one is produced by electronic producer, Dimlite, who was featured last month. I only recently noticed The Middle East after Jason Bentley played them one morning, but they seem like a nice Rogue Wave + female vocals act, and I mean that in a good way. Wrapping up this month is the hipster collaboration to define hipsterdom for the next decade, Michael McDonald singing Grizzly Bear‘s “While You Wait For The Others.” I know that, just in that it exists, it is like the epitome of hipster irony: to have a 70s yacht rocker incorporated into an indie track; but at its heart, it is a pretty awesome song and enjoyable listen. I give them credit for making it happen.
