Friday Mix Tape: Top 6 Of The First 6

With my turn in the Friday Mix Tape rotation serendipitously coinciding with me dropping my Top 6 Of The First 6 list yesterday, it seemed only appropriate that I use the opportunity to showcase some music from my favorite releases of the the first half of the year. So whether you’re already familiar with these releases, or looking for a reason to go and pick them up, we’ve got six tunes to help get your weekend going.

We kick things off with Lost In My Mind, the song that actually convinced to me to go and listen to The Head And The Heart’s self-titled Sub Pop debut. From there, we’ve got Gillian Welch with Scarlet Town from The Harrow & The Harvest, her first album of new material in eight years. Then, it’s Providence-based folk-rockers The Low Anthem with one of my favorite songs of the year – Apothecary Love – from their third studio album, Smart Flesh.

We follow that up with Middle Brother’s Blue Eyes, sung by Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit, which came be found on the roots-rock supergroup’s self-titled debut. Then, we’ve got Fleet Foxes with Sim Sala Bim from the sophomore effort Helplessness Blues. Finally, we close things out with the punchy Rox In The Box from The Decemberists Americana-tinged return to form record The King Is Dead.
