2020 End of Year Mixtapes

[LetMeSleep]

I listened to chud's mix.

[Higgs]

And???

[LetMeSleep]

Meh. Nothing new for me. I'd heard all but 3 or 4 artists and there wasn't anything appealing in there.

[Norah]

wow

[LetMeSleep]

To clarify, these were the songs/albums I hadn't already heard.

Sault - Free
Local Natives w/Sylvan Esso - Dark Days
Day Wave - Potions
Future Islands - For Sure
DEHD - Disappear
HAIM - Gasoline
Perfume Genius - Without You
DEHD - Loner

That Sault album I do need to hear however. That track was nice. And I think I'd heard the S Esso track before but I enjoyed it this time around.

[Norah]

That Dehd album would probably make my top 5 of the year.

[LetMeSleep]

That Dehd album would probably make my top 5 of the year.

I'll try those 2 again then.

edit: nope. vocally offensive.

[Norah]

I get that.

[Brett]

I gotta get my shit together and finish my mix, but finding time is a pain in the ass. I think it's going to end up different than I was expecting.

[LetMeSleep]

Higgs, I'd heard a fair bit of your mix beforehand but the following artists have made it through to the next round (further listens and checking out their respective albums):

bdrmm
Samantha Crain
Smoke Fairies
Widowspeak
Rose City Band

Alright, finally got some time to work this out, so without any extra fanfare, here's my 2020 Mix and a companion mix of "b-sides," tracks that I liked but couldn't get to fit in on the main mix or would have been way too weird even among what I usually share.
