Listen: Captivity Scene $1 / Guest Mix by Matt DeMello

Artwork by Chris Parks

Got something to go along with our first online Fest / Mini Fest – mix by Matt DeMello! We’re always curious to hear what an inner-ear drum secret filmmaker got in store, so lets turn it over to him…

In the last year or so I’ve started pouring over free music options, scouring free album codes on Bandcamp, DatPiff, and even clicking the occasionally struggling band Facebook ad. Here’s a good catalog of favorite songs from some even better records I’ve found with that focus. A lot of electronic music, noise, vaporwave… but I can never get away from capital-S Songwriters. Okay, maybe a soundscape here and there featuring a BBC debate about God (shoutout to Non-Fatal Injuries – I’ve been screaming about this album for a month now and it gets a real showcase here).

Will say for #BandcampFriday: Every last one of these artists is well worth the investment – both monetary and time spent clicking around – on Bandcamp. Do it up today.
