Old Indie Kid Mixtape November 2018

This is the third anniversary of the Old Indie Kid Mixtape series.  So celebrate with some new tunes.

1) We Belong Dead by Slash
You wait two and a half decades for Slash to do something epic and he releases a great rock album with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators and a horror soundtrack which sounds like a collaboration with Skrillex. Have nightmares!

2) Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts) by The Smashing Pumpkins 
The Smashing Pumpkins have released a few new tracks since they reformed but this is the first one that can compare to their Siamese Dream / Mellon Collie output. 

3) Black Moon Rising by Black Pumas 
Drum roll introduction for the Black Pumas debut single.  They are a psychedelic soul band from Austin Texas and one to watch.

4) Retreat2018 by Chase & Status & Cutty Ranks 
This drum n bass track takes me back to the early 90's.  It wouldn't feel out of place on the Prodigy's Experience.

5) Jinglin' Janglin' by Fort Knox Five  K-Lab 
The sound of Funk being extra funky.

6)  White Coats by Baxter Dury, Etienne de Crecy & Delilah Holliday
Baxter's distinctive Laandan vocals are excellent here and it is groovy thanks to the Etienne de Crecy's French disco sound.

7)  Beyond The Outskirts by Suede
I saw a very funny spoof documentary of Suede this week - watch this.

8)  Atlas Please by Gengahr
A new single from a band I have never tried to pronounce.  Luckily Gengahr don't come up much in conversations.

9) Withorwithout by Parcels 
Finally Parcels released their debut album and I've been playing it on repeat.  Sounds like Daft Punk and will be a contender for album of the year.

10) Sometimes by Cub Sport 
Going from strength to strength Cub Sport sound very now and occasionally I am open to sounds that emerged after 1997.

11) There Will Come A Time by Orbital featuring Professor Brian Cox 
Orbital are fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and they teamed up with D:Ream's keyboard player to be the voice of The Book in their own space epic.


12) First World Problems by Ian Brown
Nine years since his last solo material due to the revival of The Stone Roses.  I didn't like this at first but it is growing on me.  His new album Ripples is scheduled for release in March.

13) Bassackwards by Kurt Vile 
The bass is sampled backwards on this ten minute epic taken from Kurt's latest album Bottle It In.

14) Innocence Module (UK Mix) by Null 
Australian producer Hayden Quinn has just released his debut album Med which includes this pulsating slab of acid trance.  

15) Like This (Radio Edit) by Protoje
Token reggae track from perennial favourite Protoje.  This radio edit removes the annoying and ill advised chatting intro found on the album version.

16) Sixteen Days by Pond
Western Australian psychedelic indie rock is always a pleasure to promote.

17) Can't Forget by The Lemonheads
A new song - it's a cover I believe from Evan Dando and friends.

18) When I Dream by San Cisco 
Great new single from a local Aussie indie pop band.

19) Perfect Person by Mystic Braves 
The best thing about this is it sounds like classic Teenage Fanclub.

20) White Star Liner by Public Service Broadcasting
A titanic new single that will probably sink without trace.  Too soon?
