Mixtape: Dumb Love

Another mixtape that’s been brewing for a while, this one explores the wealth of power pop that’s been flooding the past few years. I did a similar mix a while back that explored the era from 2010-2020 and this picks up where that mix left off. From the classic ’80s hints of Tom Henry, Billy Tibbals, or Uni Boys to the more ’90s leaning touches of Supercrush and 2nd Grade, the mix works to wrap up all strains of soft-punch punk and jangled heartbreak.
