Solid Melts, a Lawrence, Kansas label with tapes under their belts from the likes of Expo 70, Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk, and a handful of other midwesterners, just announced a wide-open summer sampler that pulls from across these great United States, with 25 tracks from recent faves C V L T S, BFFs Coasting, New Joisy's Julian Lynch in destructo mode, Philly's Hermit Thrushes, names that remain only legends to us (Back To The Future The Ride!) and even better, total mysteries (Yuppies are pretty sick!).
The comp blends summer bangers with a heavy dosage of ambient and noise tracks that conjure of breezy nocturnal July transgressions.
Also a great Cloud Nothings two minute burner:
Julian Lynch, “Sifflements, Ronflements, et Renâclements”
Back To The Future The Ride, “To Truly Know The Past”
Enjoy the whole Solid Melts’ Summer Compilation 2010: An Empire of Fun release over at the Solid Melts website.
