Free Matador sampler

Matador have kindly made an autumn label sampler called Intended Play available. Seven of the songs haven’t been released as MP3 before. Read their original post here. If you like a song, support the artists and buy the album.

The Fucked Up song is a beast, their album The Chemistry of Common Life is one of my favourite albums of the year. Can’t wait to see what’s on the Brighten Corners reissue too so I’m looking forward to that in December.

Download the Intended Play sampler.
