This is one of a series of compilations I've been making since 2004 (around the time of my birthday) featuring some of my favorite recent indie music. This year, for the first time, I did a second, less pop-oriented, compilation (this one), with avant-garde jazz, classical, rap, and other sounds. All songs from 2017. Cover image is by Lotte Reiniger from the Adventures of Prince Achmed.
The more pop-oriented comp is called Not Today Satan, also on Mixcloud.
Artists on this compilation include (in order):
1. Mike 2. Nicole Mitchell 3. Richard Dawson 4. Sam Amidon 5. House and Land 6. Les Filles de Illighadad 7. Armand Hammer (prod. August Fanon) 8. Open Mike Eagle 9. Kikagaku Moyo 10. Jaimie Branch 11. Penguin Cafe 12. Andrew Wasylyk 13. Portland State Chamber Choir (director Ethan Sperry; composer Ēriks Ešenvalds) 14. GVSU New Music Ensemble (composer Daniel Rhode) 15. Víkingur Ólafsson (composer Philip Glass) 16. Robert Stillman 17. Wooden Wand
