Mexican Summer

<p>Mexican Summer is an independent record label based out of Brooklyn, NY. They release the work of adventurous musicians without the limitations of genre or form. Mexican Summer operates in tandem with Anthology, a book publisher and archival record label. Anthology focuses on responsibly licensed material, compelling design, and definitive presentation.</p>

Mexican Summer bring you Spectral Park's debut full-length under the auspices of pop brainchild Luke Donovan, who played all of the music (and records) on the record. These are songs borne from the trash, literally sourced from a box of records the Southampton multi-instrumentalist found on a walk by a council block's curbside garbage. Donovan chopped them up and fed them through his sampler, warped, pitch-bent snippets of notes, rhythms and loops spanning disparate portions of musical history. Then he started recording live instrumentation and heavily-treated vocals over them, creating a gritty, noisy, yet wide-eyed dive into manic, '60s psychedelia, clear-eyed flower child reveries of reverberation and pop chaos. 'spectral park' is a collection of songs that serve as reflections of a fractured year full of joys and sadness, a jumble sale of ideas and moments that work together, dancing and exploding off of one another. These songs lunge off the record, bursting with breakneck tempos and infectious, soaring melodies, sounding as if they are ready to shatter under all of the energy rattling inside. Moreover, they offer a unique and exciting view into a reconstructed musical past, one that brings bygone eras of mind expansion and infinite human potential back within reach.
