May has been a busy month here at Wake The Deaf, with some fantastic releases that have really captured our imaginations and had us hitting the repeat button. Grow / Decompose, New Alhambra, Island Eyes, Bones You have Thrown Me…, Kind of Blah, Hold You Like a Harness – any/all of these could feature on our favourite albums of the year so far. If the following months are half as exciting then 2015 promises to be a corker.
The May Roundup mix below contains a track from every artist we featured during the month (apart from Sharon van Etten and Noah Gundersen, sorry!), so plug your headphones in and enjoy some new music. Click the artists’ names in the tracklisting below to be taken to the post in question.
