Guest Mix: DIRTY BEACHES
MIX: Dirty Beaches - City Life Rose Quartz Mixtape (43mb)
We've been fans of Alex Zhang Hungtai's Dirty Beaches for a while now but it hasn't been until Badlands that his low-lit, blues inspired highway rockers and romantic swayers have found such perfect form. I interviewed him recently for an upcoming Altered Zones feature which made me further interested in his listening habits; sure there are the overt Lynch/Jarmusch evocations across his filmic ballads as well as just total Everly Brothers old-fashioned heart, but the Vincent Gallo oddities, Sun Ra cool, Gang Starr attitude and Eno moods that he's put on this mixtape for us inform his work just as much.
