This mix explores the joy that’s produced by what is sustained - through guitar pedals, drones, drum patterns, feedback, and distortion. It finds hope bubbling up from a variety of genres and noise patterns - from shoegaze, to drum and bliss, to blackgaze and experimental. These sounds encourage us to hold on, to keep applying pressure, and to stay with what might at first sound hard.
