Monday Mixtape, Vol. 39

Morning, I am currently on my way to Florida, and my travels have been nonstop but at fortunately the music don’t stop either. 

I loved Nothing’s last album, Guilty of Everything, so I’m hoping this single is a taste of what’s to come on their new album. 

I have no idea who Declan McKenna is other than to guess he’s Irish. Great track. 

Vera Blue has some pipes!

Wild Nothing’s EP Empty Estate is a must listen, even better than his recent released album which this track is from.

High Highs make music where you question how high you are.
