Automatic - Skyscraper*

Hailing from Los Angeles, the absolutely brilliant three piece band Automatic consist of Izzy Glaudini (synths, lead vocals), Lola Dompé (drums, vocals) and Halle Saxon (bass, vocals). The trio channel acts like Le Tigre whilst also carrying the torch for post punk/new wave bands like The Slits, Tom Tom Club and Wire (with an a bit of Velvet Underground psych influence for additional good measure); despite all these similarities, Automatic still feel fresh, innovative and modern. Their second full-length, Excess, on Stones Throw Records was easily one of my favorite albums of 2022 and still gets many routine listens due to its raw yet also somehow polished stylings, coupled with its subversive and idealogical lyrics. Skyscraper offers up alienation and anti-capitalist angst over a slick, post-disco drum break, ethereal 80’s synths, and Glaudini’s brooding monotone delivery which all helps to highlight their anomie, “Change if you want or stay the same, there’s no difference in the end. It’s a shame that you gotta play the game, where every dollar gets you off.”

Mix 13 got skipped last year and I never got around to releasing it… but now that a convicted felon is being inaugurated on Martin Luther King Jr. Day it’s clear we live in a dystopian universe where many things don’t seem to matter, including superstitions. So slip on your eye-masks and check out for a bit.

This new mix has 40 tracks FULLY MIXED.

This episode’s highlighted track: Track 17

Oneohtrix Point Never - A Barely Lit Path*

Prolific Massachusetts composer and electronic producer Daniel Lopatin who performs under the moniker Oneohtrix Point Never, deftly pairs orchestral strings with synthesizers on A Barely Lit Path, the final track from his “speculative autobiography” Again on Warp Records. A Barely Lit Path begins with a sputtering drone buried under a self-conscious, electronically morphed vocal/electronic query: “If I empty my mind and scoop out my skull, what gifts would I find, what secrets inside?” that responds with a warm organ and self-deferential response, “nothing inside, just a slug that provides a barely lit path from your house to mine…”

The self-addressed Q&A’s conclusion, which seems nostalgic for genuine connections and human bonds formed IRL, builds with confidence under this realization… the warm blanket of pulsating drones and arpeggiating chirps slowly lifts until reaching an ethereal, orchestral crescendo (conducted and arranged by Robert Ames and performed by the Nomad Ensemble). As it builds we hear angelic voices singing what sounds like Baroque exclamations of “Glory” until finally resolving into a strong, pulsating synth that now, finally seems content with itself. ONP’s bridging of electronic and analogue not only shows his proficiency for complex orchestrations that are both clever and catchy but highlight his pop sensibilities that he has showcased when collaborating with artists like The Weeknd, FKA Twigs, Iggy Pop and David Byrne.

This episode’s highlighted track: Track 7

Panda Bear & Sonic Boom - Edge of the Edge

Each gaining notoriety as psychedelic masters from their individual bands Animal Collective and Spaceman 3, Noah Lennox and Peter Kember went on to improve upon their sounds on solo projects as Panda Bear and Sonic Boom, respectively. Since then, the two have collaborated with artists including Beach House, Stereolab, Daft Punk, Neutral Milk Hotel and MGMT, to name a few. Coincidentally, both artists left their homes in the US and UK to live in Portugal so it’s not surprising that these two experimental, indie-psych masters would find each other and come together to create beautiful music. On their supergroup album Reset, Edge of the Edge perfectly encapsulates their brand of mid-sixties pastiche with Noah Lennox’s nimble tenor doubled up to emulate Brian Wilson over a cascade of twinkling synths, barber shop quartet chants, reverbed clapping, and the squelching tones of a dial up modem.

Psychic Mirrors - Obatala (Souls on Fire)

​​Following the release of their debut LP, Nature of Evil, The Psychic Mirrors frontman, Mickey de Grand IV, began producing tracks for acclaimed artists such as SZA, ABRA, and Denzel Curry, serving their infectious hybrid of spooky, contemporary funk and 80s pastiche to larger audiences. With Obatala (Souls on Fire), the Miami six-piece band deftly channel Rick James, E.S.G., and Tom Tom Club to create a spooky Halloween funk delight. Vocalist, Myra Stone screams, “Souls on fire, I’m going to take you higher!” and it’s hard not to believe her.

41 tracks FULLY MIXED in the “double-sided, double-density 5.25”podcast above.

This episode’s highlighted track:

Andy Pickett - Paid

The anthem of freelancers everywhere, “Paid” is a straightforward, catchy plea for prompt remuneration on services rendered. With its throbbing bass stabs that accentuate piano and echoing vocals pleading for payment, “Paid” pays homage to the late 70s and early 80s (while still feeling quite contemporary and relevant) with its deft technique. Hailing from Fort Worth, Texas, the self-taught pianist initially gained local notoriety as the front door bouncer for local bars until he befriended James Petralli, of White Denim, who helped him produce his album. You can play this track with joy as you type up your future invoices.

Honorable mention goes to Pavement’s b-side “Harness Your Hopes.” Recently, I selected Pavement on my streaming service and was surprised to find that the top song was a tune I didn’t recognize from one of my favorite albums (in fact, another track from the same album is on a previous YeahYal). After more research, I discovered that the mystery song was a b-side that was added to their re-release, but I was still surprised that this particular song was listed as Pavement’s most popular, given they had so many popular albums with other great tracks. Apparently due to the mysteries of the algorithm, “Harness Your Hopes” was promoted to many future listeners on Spotify where it became even more popular when some of those same people started including it on TikTok posts. How do viral anomalies like this occur… are the lyrics cross-referenced with current events? Did the line “And the freaks have stormed the White House” make a 1997 track seem exceptionally relevant to an AI bot in 2021 when this track became popular? All I know is that Stephen Malkmus is a true wordsmith and his lyrics are a delight to listen/read/savor. I’m thrilled to have found this new/old track and I’m glad to know the algorithm is listening.

On a final note, it’s an absolute shame (and maybe not a coincidence) that the four arguably best tracks on this mix (see below) are not available on streaming services. But never mind that, you get to enjoy them on this mix!

39 tracks FULLY MIXED in the podcast above (also available on Soundcloud).

This episode’s highlighted track:

En Attendant Ana - Wonder

With “Wonder,” Parisian indie rockers En Attendant Ana do a brilliant job channeling elements of Neu!, The Mamas and the Papas and Stereolab to create a jangly guitar fever dream that’s somehow both melancholic and inspirational, simultaneously. Taken from the 2023 album Principia on Sub Pop, “Wonder” begins as a traditional, twee pop tune before evolving into an exciting monster. It begins with the ethereal voice of Margaux Bouchaudon almost pleading with herself, “How can I stop, and do I want it?” before a pulsating bass line forcefully shifts the musical tone and forces her to reluctantly convince herself, “I’m a good human being, my mama said, and I hope she’s right…” As she struggles to come to terms with her life choices the pendulum swings back again leading her to wonder, “Who am I fooling? Where’s the tape to rewind?” The steady, wispy reed organ and looped guitar line eventually devolves into crunching distortion and delayed synth screams—as she longs to redo a failed past relationship that, along with the instrumentation, heads off the tracks.
