This week’s KLOF mixtape features Fust and Sluice, who share band members – Sluice’s exceptional Companion comes highly recommended. Brown Wimpenny get a double ahead of their debut album, while Wendy Eisenberg — whom Thomas Blake recently called “one of the most talented musical artists of their generation” — previews their self-titled, out tomorrow on Joyful Noise. Plus Plankton Wat, Brown Horse, Big Thief, Steve Gunn, and more.

The latest KLOF Mixtape moves from Félicia Atkinson & Christina Vantzou’s dreamlike soundscapes anchored in sea, sky and stone to the airy, pastoral improvisations of Prymek & Sage. Alongside new offerings from Sam Grassie, Magic Tuber Stringband, Juni Habel, Pan•American, Buck Meek and more, ancient folk recordings from Tibet and Greece complete a collection for unhurried listening.

KLOF’s new mixtape gathers thirteen tracks around a shared quality of patience and drift — from Juni Habel’s Nordic folk opener, Joshua Burnside’s haunting evocation of personal loss, to the closing shimmer of Félicia Atkinson & Christina Vantzou. The Notwist appear twice, and a trio recording from Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl and Macie Stewart is an unmissable highlight.

This week’s Mixtape stretches, twists, and shapeshifts — from Glasgow’s Uzganc choir to a collaboration between Weirs and The Magic Tuber Stringband, recorded inside Virginia’s pitch-black Crozet Tunnel. In between: music from Spencer Cullum, BIG|BRAVE, Wendy Eisenberg, Bill Orcutt, Mongolian artist Hugjiltu, Colleen, Prymek & Sage, balladeer Wheatie Mattiasich, harpist Rhodri Davies, and Oliver Barrett’s tender memorial to family and memory.

Our latest Mixtape pairs familiar KLOF favourites with a few artists that caught our attention recently. Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Gregory Uhlmann, Jesca Hoop, Kris Drever, SUSS, Setting, Adam Ross, Brown Wimpenny, Trippers & Askers and Riley/Radley — from Louisville folk to ambient guitar explorations to widescreen Americana, it’s an hour of sideways beauty that earns your full attention. Press play and let it run.

Our latest Mixtape draws together a constellation of artists we’ve been championing lately — Bill Callahan, Buck Meek, Tōth, The Notwist, Iron & Wine, Juni Habel, and more — alongside a few welcome discoveries. From highway-wide Americana to quietly devastating folk, sun-bleached indie to avant-garde drift, it’s an hour-plus of music that earns your full attention. Press play and let it run.

Journey through the 1970s with a mixtape exploring the dawn of ambient soundscapes and Eastern-influenced fusion. From the suburban field recordings of Ernest Hood and the mysticism of Don Cherry to the “hippie folk” of Vashti Bunyan, C.O.B and the Incredible String Band, we celebrate a decade that traded traditional storytelling for immersive sonic environments and a quest for the universal sound.
