Nuggets 236 – Chug chug 5

Another ‘movin’ along’ mix featuring the usual suspects. I made this for friends who planned a road trip after getting married. The cover picture is one I took while in San Francisco last year. It’s the stairwell of  the fort under the bridge. The fort is very photogenic, a great spot to take wedding photos.

The Amazing start the playlist. Great tune, they are Swedish. The High Highs are from Brooklyn while Russian Red is the band headed by Lourdes Hernández who hails from Spain.

There you go, around the world in three songs.

In the video below James Vincent McMorrow looks uncannily like Charles Manson…

Nuggets 227 - Chug chug 3

Broadcast was (is?) a Brit electro band with a sound similar to Stereolab  Sadly, lead singer Trish Keenan contracted Swine Flu while travelling back from a gig in Australia and died in 2011.

Boca Chica are a twang pop collective based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Hallie Pritts is the lead singer. Lots of beardy guys and I like her voice. Their latest album (Get Out of Sin City) is beautifully produced, a sonic joy. They ran a Kickstarter project and spent their money wisely. They have some free tracks over at one of their labels.

Floating Action aka Seth Kaufman & friends have been a regular feature in recent playlists, I enjoy his song writing and the general vibe. He has one album on Bandcamp with his current album available from his website.

The rest of the bands have featured on previous mixes…..

As you can see I am into this chug chug vibe and so there are more mixes on the way. Great tunes for driving around now that summer has arrived.
