This year has been a great year for music thus far, and I believe the monthly mixtapes here at Musical Pairings have been a testament to that. Each one has been jam packed with great new discoveries and the August mix is no exception. This one offers a little something for everyone: lo-fi garage rock, psychedelic folk-pop, electronica, hip hop, experimental hip hop, 90’s rap, synth pop, electro pop, and some good old-fashioned orchestral “indie” rock. I’d expect you’ll recognize some familiar faces (Arcade Fire, Big Boi, Best Coast, and Dr. Dre, for example), but you should pay extra special attention to some of the new faces (Twins of a Gazelle, We Are Trees, Evenings, Jaill, & DannielRadall, for example). Enjoy!
