Download – Solid Melts Summer Compilation 2010: An Empire Of Fun

“An Empire Of Fun” is a collection of 25 tracks from artists affiliated with Lawrence, Kansas record label Solid Melts. 

Solid Melts, a Lawrence, Kansas label with tapes under their belts from the likes of Expo 70, Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk, and a handful of other midwesterners, just announced a wide-open summer sampler that pulls from across these great United States, with 25 tracks from recent faves C V L T S, BFFs Coasting, New Joisy’s Julian Lynch in destructo mode, Philly’s Hermit Thrushes, names that remain only legends to us (Back To The Future The Ride!) and even better, total mysteries (Yuppies are pretty sick!). – Impose Magazine

Note – since the original compilation is no longer available, we put together corresponding Youtube/Bandcamp playlists.
