An amazingly crafted video directed by Adria Ghiralt for Bewilderbeast’s “U Know” combines animated handmade drawings flying though street view shots in an attempt to create the feeling of travelling. The track is taken off Bewilderbeast’s summer release U Know EP which is now available via Bandcamp.
Hearing Gold are proud to present our latest compilation, Midnight Cassette, a brand new releasewhich we’ve been working on with the collective effort of some of our favorite artists, producers, and bands. The concept of this compilation was to curate a collection of tracks to listen to while freely cruising the road on a long, introspective drive.
Delving deeper into the specifics of the theme, we decided to conceptualize the approach by descriptively submerging the participating artists and producers with the image of an ’80s Camaro SS passing by blurry neon city lights well into the cover of the night. However, that’s not to say that this is the exact setting that is required because these particular images are subjective and would be so for the artists and producers interpreting them, but more so, we wanted to elicit as closely as possible the aesthetics of an ’80s soft, haze-filtered pop and new wave vibe that mimicked the feeling of peaceful isolation when it’s just you, your car and your tape deck.
The resulting effort you hear before you is a simple vision that came into fruition through the talent of some really creative people. Thanks to all the amazing artists, producers, and bands who have taken the time out of their schedules to contribute an exclusive, original, and quality track for the compilation. Check out the tracklist and stream the entire compilation down below via Soundcloud and then head over to Bandcamp to grab the compilation in its entirety. (Tip: Listen to the compilation in its sequential order and enjoy!)

York duo Bewilderbeast returns with the chill new EP U Know which was released just a couple weeks ago near the end of June. We posted about their chill, 80s-tinted disco-pop tunes a while back when they released the Slow It Down EP, and now the same downtempo gems everyone’s constantly craving for have aptly arrived at the foot of summertime highs. “Want 2 Ride” isan instant favorite with its impeccable run of side-chained bliss, washy synths, grooving bass melodies, and elongated vocals—essentially the main ingredients to a chill ride into the sunset. Pick up this chilled out gem below and the rest of the EP via Bandcamp.
Bewilderbeast’s fresh, new, 80’s disco-pop track “Slow It Down” from the aptly named Slow It Down EP was released today, with its collective tracks playing on downtempo chills, perfect for dropping down as the most serene soundtrack for those low-key moments. Be sure to grab the new four-track EP over at their Bandcamp which is available through the “pay-what-you-can” method and prep yourself for some deep chills.
