Indie Mix 6

Jim Houser- Piles
To the left is a great piece by the amazing Jim Houser.  He has such a nice aesthetic.  Great muted, subdued color palette, with concise striking design sensibilities.  He  does amazing work and I have been a fan for a long time, just thought I would share his skill for the uninitiated.  Now on to the music.

The saying goes, every actor wants to be a rock star and every rock star wants to be an actor.  It makes sense, most actors grow up doing all of that drama geek sort of stuff.  High school musicals and the like.  Though the saying may be true, few actors are able to cross back and forth between the two worlds successfully.  This new mix has two actors that make music that I actually enjoy listening to.  One is Jason Schwartzman and his band Coconut records, they made their first appearance on the last mix.  The other is Baby goose himself, Ryan Gosling *swoon* and his friend Zach Shields, with their project called, Dead Man's Bones.  Baby Goose, songs about zombies, kids choirs!!!  Ahhh it's too much indie to handle.  *Rocks back and forth waiting for a stoplight on a fixie*  Tracklist and download link behind the jump.
