Getting a really well-curated mix from someone you like still ranks as one of the top friendship experiences. So, good news: your friend (and ours! and everybody’s!) Paul Major — he of Brooklyn-based riff monsters Endless Boogie — has gone and done that.
Drawing from Major’s own vast record collection, Feel The Music Vol. 1 offers a personalized tour along the outer perimeter of private press rock music, where the only law the land is freakiness. Uniting the collection is a love for the kind of unusual, visionary music-making that perhaps can only happen way, way off from where the attention usually goes, in some free-form basement of the soul…
But enough talk. Behold the album cut “Behold,” by Justyn Rees, streaming below. Paul Major: Feel The Music Vol. 1 will arrive October 27 from Mexican Summer’s Archive imprint. Pre-order it now on any old format you like. And, just in case the format you really like is “book,” purchase the companion book, Feel The Music: The Psychedelic Worlds of Paul Major, over at the Mexican Summer shop while you’re there. Damn; thanks again for being such a good friend, Paul.
