♫♪  Midwest Collective: Various Artists - Vol. 5

Two parts glossy funk and twinkling production, the Midwest Collective crew is BACK with a Vol. 5 compilation, and it’s the first to make it physically on tape! Featuring a slew of artists that you know — or are currently becoming acquainted with — Vol. 5 plays out more like an actual collective-album rather than a compilation. They’re all so in-sync with each other, but drastically different in personal-musicianship and sound that Vol. 5 on the whole is a quest begging to be taken. As well, it’s fluid in transition and feel between each track that the general arrangement of it is what creates such an organized and on-going adventurous vibe. It’s like, “This is Midwest Collective, and we’re subtly taking over your thought process.”

Having done 90% of Midwest Collective’s art throughout the ages, JohnMoProductions continues his reign as supreme designer of everything collaged and close-up. Those drips of water. The faux VHS reel window. That gaze into fall foliage. It’s been provided. But won’t last long physically, so head on over to Midwest Collective’s Bandcamp page and snag a tap before they (limited to 30) sell out entirely!
