Super Wild Horses - Death Mix

drag me away
We're super excited to present an all-new Death Mix by Hayley from ace Melbourne duo Super Wild Horses.

Odes to carpark burn-outs, zine love, psychedelic drum beat borrowing, mental walls of sound, death cream, sunburn, Cambodian rock music AND The B-52's. What more could you want?

'Death Mix' by Hayley SuperWildHorses (direct link)


TRACKLIST (with notes from Hayley):

Sonny & The Sunsets - 'Death Cream' (Soft Abuse)
7" comes with a neato zine. Great little ditty from one of my favourites.
Medication - 'Didn't Wanna Know' (HoZac Records)
Listened to this sad old number on repeat when i first heard it. Great album released by Hozac in the states. Hozac are gonna put out our album this year too ... so excited.
Pearl Harbor - 'Sunburn' (Mexican Summer)
Unsigned LA band. Two EPS out. Love the guitar line in this.
The Moles - 'Europe by Car' (Seaside)
We recently played a show with Woollen Kits and The Twerps who are two of our fave local bands. Each band made each other a mix tape for the night. Rick from The Twerps put this song on his mix and I think it rules. Makes me wanna do burn outs in a beach car park.
The Moffs - 'Another Day in the Sun' (Citadel Records)
Iconic song from this old Aussie band. I think I accidentally ripped off their drum beat in one of our new songs. Woops.
Best Coast - 'Something In The Way' (Post Present Medium)
Another great US band out on No Age's record label. Still a fan of tinny, overblown vocals and big booming drums. This was the kind of sound we wanted for our first EP. Mikey Young who recorded our EP did a darn good job of replicating the noise in our heads.
Meas Samon - Unknown (Sublime Frequencies)
Sublime Frequencies is one of my favourite record labels. They gather cassettes from around Asia and reissue them on comps. This song is real quirky and makes me grin. Off their Cambodian Cassette Archives compilation.
The B-52's - 'Dance This Mess Around' (Warner Bros.)
Best song ever? Could be. Slightly obsessed with this right now .


4 x SWH x !
Super Wild Horses' debut album is due out June/July on Aarght! Records (Australia), and HoZac Records (USA). They're also doing a 7" for round 2 of the HoZac Hookup Klub series.

Their debut EP is out-of-print, but you can still grab the digital version over at iTunes. Keep your eyes on the Super Wild Space for upcoming gigs.
