Jon Keller’s newest album Deceiver is currently streaming for free and available for purchase on Bandcamp. “By developing his vocal style, bulking up (and diversifying) his arrangements and maturing his writing, he’s done just that, creating a record that I feel comfortable calling a new indie classic. It’s at once beautiful, haunting, eclectic and heartbreaking. 97/100” - G. Locke, Ze Catalist

Sixty Years War Collective is presenting a series of Mixtapes, showcasing great independent artists who are not necessarily associated with the collective. For each mix, a member of the collective will pick ten of their favorite independent musicians and bands to showcase. This second mix was compiled by James Musselman with a good deal of help from Chris Darby. Two of the songs on this mix are exclusives, “I Will Follow” by Barnswallow and “Walking Birds” by Aaron Bowen.

This is the second quad split, complied by Chris Darby, and released by Sixty Years War Collective. My goal with these splits is to connect hard working artists from around the country, who I feel fit together on the same cd. The challenge is for each artist to come up with three songs exclusively for the split, which won’t be released anywhere else (at least in the same form). So you will always hear something new with these splits, even if you already know the artist. I am hoping to continue to put together one of these every year. This is the second split I have organized, and it is really, really wonderful. Many thanks to William Blackart (Arkansas), Bunny Day and the Mercy Buckets (Kentucky), Cinder Conk (Maine), and Helen Kellers Ukulele (Alabama), for being involved in this years split. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed putting it all together. - Chris Darby

Wooden Satellites performing “When Fast At Home” on National Record Store Day.

Upbeat, energetic and fueled with a dash of an emotional surge, “We Stay Blind” is one of those indie rock songs that keeps you coming back for more.
