Japanese Mixtape: Idiosyncratic Nostalgia

Softhold put together a Japanese indie mixtape with indigo la End, KANA-BOON, Creephyp. The thing about these compilations is you can tell someone actually cared about what they were sharing, not just padding a playlist.

These bands make music because they need to, not because an algorithm told them to. A mixtape like this one gets that. It feels almost weird to say that matters, but it does.
