UPDATE: Altered Zones premiered Campfire’s wonderful contribution, while I Guess I’m Floating opened the world’s eyes to “Judy, Judy” by Houtakker.

We’ve been working diligently putting this thing together for a while now, but it’s finally here! Zach, one of the two of us who steers this boat, is from Chicago. This is an ode to his hometown. We wanted to release it as a true mixtape, on cassette. Of course you can pick up a digital copy too, but it’s meant to be listened to on the car stereo driving down The Eisenhower on the way home to the suburbs.

Releases August 2nd. Limited run of 200 cassettes, no repress. (or you can buy it from Bandcamp now)
