Free compilation albums to download
This week I’ve been trawling the internet in search of exciting new things to keep on my computer and listen to, so I thought I’d share this list of free albums for download, especially since a few labels have been in especially generous mood in advance of SXSW.
Check the links below and get yourself some free music, all legal and above board and that. There’s plenty of good stuff from Amazon for free to promote their MP3 offer, but for reasons best known to themselves, they make you install an Amazon MP3 installer before you can download anything, the cads.
Wichita Recordings album sampler
4AD at SXSW sampler (includes M. Ward and Camera Obscura)
Teepee Records sampler (featuring doomy metal, including J. Mascis’ metal band Witch)
Jagjaguwar 2008/9 compilation (from Amazon)
Secretly Canadian 2008/9 compilation (from Amazon)
Sub Pop sampler (from Amazon)
Stereo Test Kit Records sampler
NPR Music at SXSW sampler (includes Dirty Projectors and The Decemberists)
Full Time Hobby sampler (features Fujiya & Miyagi, The Hold Steady, Tunng)
Matador Records Autumn 2008 sampler (Pavement, Fucked Up, Mogwai)
Eine Kleine Nacht Musik (inspirational krautrock mixtape)
And while I’m here, download the first recordings by From Light To Sound. They’re great, honestly.
