Lewis and his Blog Presents: A Hurricane Relief / Industrial Collapse Party Playlist

I could get used to this whole ‘Northeast hurricane’ phenomenon becoming an annual thing. I made a playlist for myself during Hurricane Irene last year, and this time around I thought that I’d share one with all of you. I chose 17 tracks of moody, contemplative music, ranging from elegiac folk to reverberant surf rock and pummeling drone. Alternatively, you could just listen to Mount Eerie’s Ocean Roar and Wind’s Poem on repeat. Either method should provide anybody living in Hurricane Sandy’s path with a fitting soundtrack over the next couple days.

Stream the whole mix at the embedded link below via 8tracks, and check out the full tracklist below that. If you’d like, you can download it as well HERE or at the bottom of the post.

Tracklist:

1. Rilo Kiley - “The Good That Won’t Come Out”
2. The Microphones - “I Want Wind To Blow”
3. Bright Eyes - “Jejune Stars”
4. The Hiya Dunes - “Storms & Pipes”
5. Grizzly Bear - “Sleeping Ute”
6. Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - “Killing The Blues”
7. The Rural Alberta Advantage - “Tornado ‘87”
8. The Wrens - “This Boy Is Exhausted”
9. Sharon Van Etten - “Sychophant”
10. Grinderman - “When My Baby Comes”
11. Duster - “Earth Moon Transit”
12. Converge - “Coral Blue”
13. Alcest - “Souvenirs D’un Autre Monde”
14. Mount Eerie - “Waves”
15. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - “Moya”
16. Built To Spill - “Things Fall Apart”
17. Bob Dylan - “Shelter From The Storm”

Enjoy the mix and stay safe during the storm, East Coast friends!
