Listen: Guest Mix by Amusement Parks on Fire

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””] Amusement Parks On Fire came to prominence in 2004 with the release of the eponymous debut album, conceived and consummated by the then-adolescent founder Michael Feerick and phonically actualized on a shoestring with Nottingham cohabitant Daniel Knowles. Issued on Geoff Barrow (of Portishead)’s Invada label, it was described by the New Musical Express as ‘hedonistic teenage genius’.

[/perfectpullquote] Our latest guest mix comes courtesy of British art-rockers/shoegazers Amusement Parks on Fire whose history stretches all the way back to early 2000s and features a string of highly-acclaimed albums on Invada, V2 and Filter US Recordings. More recently the band signed to Texas imprint Saint Marie which so far put out two of their EPs – last year’s Our Goal to Realize and its follow-up All the New Ends.
The mix that APoF made comes in two flavors – Spotify and Youtube and features 19 tracks by luminaries (Deerhoof, Blonde Redhead, Broadcast) and new names (Drahla, Pip Blom, Marine Store Dealer) alike. It culminates in a 15-minute track by cult Australian trio The Necks.
