Louder than what you may ask. Well, louder than most recent mixes. thâ faith healers (more here) feature from a bruising Peel session released in 2005 but probably first aired on 24/11/1991. Donât you love that 90âs sound?
Toy are a young band from England (London?) with krautrock sensibilities (and thin legs).

If you can wait till 10 September you can buy their album.
Voices are easily manipulated. A flat note is no longer any problem, a tweak here and, voila, itâs gone. This vocal botox has casualties. For me the soul gets sucked out. Thatâs why I prefer the botox-free live takes that feature here.
The session tracks in this mix are mainly from Daytrotter, a web site featuring music recorded by musoâs passing through Rock Island, Illinois. Although you can listen without subscribing itâs well worth the USD24 needed to subscribe for a year. Their Android and Iphone apps are pretty good.
Father John Misty, aka J Tillerman was recently the drummer with Fleet Foxes. After taking a skinful of drugs he found his own voice and his 2012 album, Fear Fun, is excellent.
