An Mp3 Hugger Compilation - Indiecater Volume 2
That music blogging has revolutionized the industry is deliciously undisputed. Astute, passionate and devoted music fans from across the globe now talk without censorship and without the need for a vapid, disconnected music magazine to run their rants and thoughts. Blogs that FDM use on a regular basis are countless but one that we return to time and time again is Mp3 Hugger, a slick blog based in Dublin, Ireland.
With a simple purpose to introduce readers to new music, Mp3 Hugger rightly prides itself on being way ahead of the curve when it comes to discovering quality new artists and exciting new records. 'Indiecater Volume 2' is their second compilation of "underappreciated artists" (as they so delightfully put it) and - for an easy-on-the-pocket price of just over 4 Euros - is one of most economical and time-saving ways of discovering a raft of fantastic new music.
Featuring Mp3s from artists from across the globe, the 10 track compilation covers off a catalogue of genres as it skips from one blast of fresh musical meat to another. From Melbourne to Nebraska, Dublin to Pittsburgh, this impressive compilation pushes 10 excellent new artists immediately into the middle of your radar.
The highlights are numerous. From the hillbilly country-folk mess of Dublin's finest The Spook Of The Thirteenth Lock ('The Country With A Smile') through the glam stomp of the ridiculously-monikered Eagle Seagull ('I'm Sorry But I'm Beginning To Hate Your Face') and onto the gorgeously string-laden delights of Athens, Georgia's Venice Is Sinking ('Pulaski Heights') - who sound like a gypsy Belle & Sebastian - this compilation is an unrivalled delight.
Few compilations this year will open your eyes to such a diverse range of quality artists. Put your musical education in the hands of Mp3 Hugger. Trust us, you'll not regret it.
