Because of this, we thought it might be a nice idea to gather up all of the artists we feature in a month into a handy little mixtape for your listening pleasure.

]]> Lately we’ve been trying to do roughly a post a day here at Wake the Deaf, which is a huge increase in output compared to our usual lazy standards. Because of this, we thought it might be a nice idea to gather up all of the artists we feature in a month into a handy little mixtape for your listening pleasure. Perfect if you haven’t managed to keep up on what we’ve been writing day-to-day.

Our January 2014 mix is a little light on numbers as during the first fortnight or so we were busy with our year-end lists and whatnot. But there are still thirteen great tracks for you to check out. As always, there’s a variety of genres so you should find something you like.

January Mix from Wake The Deaf on 8tracks Radio.

]]> Mylets is a one-man noise pop outfit from Indiana’s Henry Kohen. The fact that Kohen manages to make such intricate tracks on his own while shouting out lyrics in his (effectively) hoarse manner is a technical feat, though Retcon is more than a mere technical accomplishment.

Using a variety of instruments and technology, Kohen has developed a brand of music that falls somewhere between math rock and indie pop music. Foregoing the complicated shredding of math, he develops relatively simple melodies into complete tracks using his array of instruments, and backs it all up with accomplished songwriting and great half-spoken-half-shouted vocal delivery. The result is an experimental yet accessible album with energy and focus that is very much worth your time.

You can get the album from the Mylets Bandcamp or via Sargent House.
