Comp Faves: Prince Rupert's Drops, Chemtrails, Marvelous Beauhunks, The Embrooks, Chris Comey, Car Crash Sisters, Kindling, Heaters, Michael Carpenter, Jericho, Caramel Snow, Doug Tuttle

Below you can hear and download some favorite songs we've found and loved on various compilations. Most of them are available on a name-your-price basis. One is available on a reasonably priced comp, as in, one (1) measly dollar (USA) for all twelve (12) songs.

Here are our three favorites from this typically fabulous Ice Cream Man comp, but there are plenty more we loved as well. Check out the Cool One's fabulous weekly powerpop radio show, either live or on Podomatic.

Okay, here's the one that will set you back $1 for the entire compilation. We loved Doug Tuttle's set at the 2014 Austin Psych Fest and even got to chat with him briefly while strolling through the ranchgrounds afterwards. Check out his forthcoming LP, Peace Potato, streaming at Noisey.

Sorry we didn't write more in this post. Or maybe we should say, "You're welcome."

Moon Sounds, Sunspots Kindling Our Desire for More Kindling

We're def fired up by this excellent new ditty from Easthampton, MA's "413 alternative diy fuzz pop indie pop indie rock jangle pop lo-fi post-punk shoegaze" duo Kindling. "Fiber in your java, fizz in your pop," that's what we always say (now that we've finally said it). Read, hear, dl, etc., more here, here, here, and here.



Here are a couple of less fizzy numbers we're very much enjoying from their February LP, Spare Room, available for name-your-price download at Bandcamp.
