2016 Year-End Mixtapes

[Brett]

An RM end of the year celebration is never complete without sharing some mixtapes. So let's top 2016 off the right way and post them here. Use Dropbox, Google Drive, Mediafire, Spotify playlists, or whatever else. I suggest limiting them to 80 minutes or less, for listening sake, but if your artistic vision demands longer, go for it.

Here's mine, with no artwork, because I spent too much time playing around with the tracklist: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B67XL ... G5rLTUwdlk

1. The Mike Smith Company - Boneless Ghost
2. Deakin - Just Am
3. Explosions in the Sky - Disintegration Anxiety

Here it is. Made some edits to balance out the sad to bastard ratio. RIYL folk pop/rock with lite electronic touches, dad psych, tasteful pedal steel, and music made by western whites, apparently. Enjoy! (Link in spoiler.)

I like that even though "dad psych" is a new term to me, I have a pretty good idea of the sound it's supposed to invoke. I probably won't get around to checking this out until after the holiday, but I will get to it.

LMS, I put yours together as a Spotify playlist so I could listen to it. Makes me think I should look into that RNDM album. The first one didn't leave an impression, but that song and "Ghost Riding" are both interesting.

Folk rock with psychedelic flourishes? Psych-adjacent? Did I coin a new term?

"A Night in the City" made another appearance! Sweet.

That track is really nice. I think you might like the the album though.

I had a busy year and didn't listen to much new music. I had trouble coming up with ten tracks so there are a couple of fillers in there.

I'm looking forward to hearing the other mixes in here
