Visible Voice Winter 2011 Mixtape
Friday, January 7, 2011 at 10:00AM 
So, this is the first of what will be a quarterly thing on Visible Voice...the seasonal mixtape. I plan to use these mixtapes as an opportunity to share some of my favorite new music. Great tunes by local or not-so-local bands that you should know and, in many cases, tracks that have not been officially or widely released yet. For this inaugural winter mix a cold, snowy Boston is my (our) backdrop and, fittingly for this time of year, many of the songs here evoke themes of reflection. During the cold winter months I find that the music I listen to becomes increasingly spare, unadorned, raw. These songs fit that mold; gritty and uncompromising, yet intensely beautiful. I'm sharing this as two "sides" (think cassettes, vinyl), instead of individual mp3s, so that this might be listened to as a cohesive whole. There will also be a limited number of physical copies available with individual tracks, please email if you'd like one.
A huge thanks goes out to all of the bands that agreed to take part. Please support them by buying their music and going to shows. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have putting it together -- and please share!
