Summer Rain Directly Into Your Face

Gold Panda doing his dusty, sample-chopped thing—melodic fragments that feel like postcards from somewhere you’ve never been—sitting next to The Go! Team’s caffeinated indie collision and Neon Hitch doing whatever Neon Hitch does that makes everything around her sound slightly overexposed. Some mixtapes work as wallpaper. This one gets inside you slowly, and you only notice it when it ends and the room feels vaguely emptier.

Ear weather for early March: warm, wet, arriving without a forecast.
