Living Bridge is a sprawling, 25-track mixtape of a compilation, featuring a vast variety of bands who've recorded at Brooklyn's famed Rare Book Room studio. With exclusive material (minus the Silver Jews track,) from established artists such as Avey Tare of Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Blood on the Wall, Black Dice, Rings, Enon, Tara Jane O'Neil, and a host of other people who deserve to be established, including Charles Gansa, Palms, the Naysayer, La Lus, and the always amazing Telepathe. Throw New York's most dangerous rock band, the Jewish, into the mix and you have what is pretty much an essential compilation. The CD version of Living Bridge comes subtly crossfaded (trust me, it works) but for those of you who prefer to hear the songs unmixed (or buy the tracks individually), we have an unmixed version as well as the proper mixed version of the comp. available on our download store.
