This month's favorite downloads skew toward songwriters, as opposed to electronica or ambient (though there's still a little of that too). As usual, this mix is best experienced in the order given. Starting this month I'm also going to begin sharing these mixes via Spotify (if they carry the songs), so follow me over there if you're on the site—my username is scottpgwp. Credit where it's due: three of these tracks come courtesy of Rawkblog—Lia Ices and Chad VanGaalen come from the same mix that yielded the Little Scream track I mentioned yesterday [...]

Released on the private label Pacific in 1976 with a gatefold cover and photo insert. According to the Acid Archives, this is a "Post-Beat Of The Earth classic in a melodic '70s West Coast style with an impressive crystal clear sound.

Relatively Clean Rivers' only album was released in 1975/76 though it sounds straight out of 1969. This album is extremely [...]

This album comes out of the mind of Phil Pearlman. Pearlman is a veteran of the American 60's rock scene, being the brains behind such epic psych albums Beat of the Earth and the great Electronic Hole. Relatively Clean Rivers' only album was released in 1975/76 though it sounds straight out of 1969. This album is extremely rare and has proven to be quite a controversial privately financed release. Some feel this album is the second coming, with strong apocalyptic acid visions and wonderful musicianship. Others feel that it's a solid rural rock record with [...]
As time wore on through the late 60's and early 70's the amalgamation of popular styles laid the groundwork for what would become the folk-rock archetype. This combination of fuzzed electrics with the jangle of acoustic guitars would go on to influence generations to come; and while some leaned a bit more to the rock and others to the folk roots, it was the potent combination that ultimately stuck. These two releases echo both sides of this dynamic but both proved highly influential. Fairport [...]
