Gray Days and Gold, June 2024
Hello, friends. Each month I assemble some of my favorite new music into a fake radio show called Gray Days and Gold, with a focus on often-unsigned artists who are making something that doesn’t fit neatly into the commercial landscape. No ads, no merch, no ask, no agenda other than uplifting music that could use a boost.
You can listen to this episode via the embedded player just below in this blog post, or on the Mixcloud website, via the Mixcloud mobile app, on your Sonos system, etc. (If you’re reading via an email digest in which the audio player isn’t embedded, please click the button below.)
There’s also a more barebones iteration of this episode’s playlist (minus my commentary, as well as songs that are missing from the streaming libraries) on Spotify and Apple Music.
If you like what you hear, please support the artists. You’ll find buy links (mostly to Bandcamp) to the tracks in the bulleted list below.
