Blithe Field / Marinate Mix [MM Premiere]

Artist: Blithe Field

Artwork: Jeff Rochester

When I first listened to Blithe Field’s beautiful wave ‘74, I was captivated by his brand of lo-fi, guitar splash, odd sampled beats. After the thousandth run through (only slightly exaggerating,) I decided that the title was appropriately deep as it was from out of left-field. “Yeah. beautiful wave,” I thought, “just like the album is a wave of static and fuzz.” I was surprised to find out that the Waaga artist was inspired by a friend’s nonsensical Japanese shirt. Meh, but what do I know? This Marinate Mix has some Black Moth Super Rainbow, Explosions in the Sky and a whole lot of chilled out poetic folk. I love this mix. I think you’ll dig it too.
