I have followed Conner Youngblood for quite some time now and I have to say, he is one of my all-time favourite artists. I have been absolutely loving his tunes since I first started listening to him just about over a year ago. I have previously posted on tracks of his like Monsters, Drift, and his Lil Wayne/Float On mashup which are stunning chill tracks. One thing that really gets me about Conner Youngblood is that he experiments with different sounds which you can hear in his mashup and his track Monsters which showcase his versatility as an artist. That to me is what shows a good artist, is there versatility.
Anyway, Youngblood has done something really special and has released a mixtape almost a month ago with a few new tracks. This is a good day. No, this is a great day. In particular, the one song that really stands out to me is Australia which he released in 2011. I find it is just such a chilling tune between the lyrics and the drums. I really liked the video he made on the making of Australia. It was really interesting to see what goes into making a song behind the scenes. Every artist has a different method of how they compile a song and all of the instruments and it was really cool to see how Youngblood does it (video below). On a side note, I even featured Australia in our Best of 2011 Indie Mix which you can sift through in your spare time here.
Sketches Pt. 1 is the name of the mixtape. That can only mean one thing: there will be a Sketches Pt.2? I hope so, but until then, enjoy the bliss of his tracks from Pt.1. I guess I shouldn't get a head of myself now should I.
Enjoy a full stream and a free download of his blue-grassy mixtape "Sketches Pt.1" below:
