"I feel music in your eyes Rainbows, in your ears"
fthrsn-middle school dance
Remember those awkward few years called middle school? Now that I'm well past that stage, all I can do now is laugh about it whenever memories come to mind but if you rewind things to a decade ago, there I was with huge coke bottle glasses, listening to Linkin Park, wearing whatever my mom picked out for me, and trying to figure out how to even begin to talk to girls. For the sake of all of those nostalgic moments, Ann Arbor's fthrsn has given us middle school swag, his latest release via Michigan collective GRL MTN. I love an album that I can relate to because it just makes the experience that much more joyous and the great thing about middle school swag is that there's something on here for everyone. At it's core these are seven pop drenched tracks about love, shyness, friendship, and trying to find even a small part of who we are while in the midst of change and throughout each one, fthrsn charmingly croons his way to our hearts on top of bedroom produced beats, glittering synths, and vivacious electronics that all help to make the trip down memory lane that much fonder. Middle School Swag is available over on bandcamp for $3 along with other material, which is up for various prices, and if you want to snag a cassette copy then look for a limited edition of 100 to be released soon via GRL MTN.

MARIJUANA - CHROME SPARKS
Ann Arbor based collective GRL MTN have put out a new compilation of the most recent work to come from their diverse membership. Consisting of 15 tracks of woozy, eclectic beatwork, AAURAL II is worlds away from the sparse folk ruminations that we're used to hearing from the Midwest. Check out the video for highlight track 'Marijuana' by Chrome Sparks above, and stream or download from here (use the mediafire link). The first installment can be found here.

The sounds of the midwest are coming your way as GRL MTN has arrived with their second installment. These Ann Arbor, Michigan artists have banded together to help promote one another and their incredible work. It's more than just a mixtape and it is more than great. The Grl Mtn collective, has blessed us with a set of 15-tracks including some of the most experimental of artists. Inside this box you'll find, synths, drips, licks, loops and a whole heck of a lot of reverb. And when the leading track is by Chrome Sparks, you know that mix is going to be supreme. It doesn't take much effort to know that Jeremy Melvin creates diamond gems. And, how beautiful is this artwork? So simple, yet so noble. You're bound to be chewing on this mix for the next few weeks...
Grl Mtn also has an new extremely elagent website for your viewing pleasure. You can see more & hear more from Bndcmp + buy a t-shirt + download the mix for free.
