we can shake but can’t control

One of my favorite reader/commenters Adam beat me to compiling a Springtime mix, so completely loaded with terrific songs from artists that I had not yet heard much of yet, but fit this nascent springtime glow I am feeling lately. I am reveling in his selections from folks like Hooded Fang, Lemolo, James McMorrow, New Animal, Andrew Belle, and Seryn.

The Seryn song he chose was instantly my favorite on the mix, because it builds up that same type of barely-contained, loosely chaotic joy inside me as that Matthew and The Atlas song did a few months back. Simply marvelous – take a listen.

We Will All Be Changed – Seryn



Seryn are from Denton, Texas and their rainbow-washed debut album This Is Where We Are is out now via Spune/Velvet Blue Music. And they are also playing SXSW!

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson

Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.
