Elliot Mess [Naive Melody] – 7″ Pinch

Posted on 14. Feb, 2008 by thp in Articles, Mixes we didn't make

Elliot: This mix is basically a bunch of tracks I listened to over and over again while I sat and sketched like a nerdy recluse in my shitty little flat in Manchester about a year ago.

These aren’t the type of tracks I’d usually play at our parties, but I wanted to get to play them somewhere eventually so making a mix made sense. I didn’t really know much about a lot of the tracks at the time (with the exception of the more well-known ones like the Y Pants and ACR), and they introduced me to a load of other bands – ones that didn’t belong to the typical New York genre I was used to.

I love these records, and making this mix was all about having fun. These artists have made some great albums, too – check them out.

• Los microwaves – Tv in my eye
• Surplus stock – stress
• Max & Malcolm – Why do tigers wander through my mind
• Missing presumed dead – kill the postman/hyperactive

• Citizen UK – Dining on expense
• Pylon – yo – yo
• Subjects – High life
• Gang 90 – Dada Globe Orixas (spaced out in paradise)
• Futurisk – Poison Ivy

• Y Pants – favourite sweater
• Candidate – Strange girl
• Standard of Living – she loves you
