Miscellonia: A Compendium of Refuse (Vol. 1: Previously Released Material)

by Hussalonia

supported by

wally The album cover is fitting. There's garbage, sure, but there's also a surprising amount of beauty. And rakes. A lot of rakes. Favorite track: No Safety (2012).

Commuter Fatigue

Wonderful, lo-fi, quirky pop mania. Charlie also interviewed the Hussalonia founder for an episode of his equally wonderful podcast, Stereo Hysteria. Hussalonia

Manic, lo-fi pop miracles. It pains me that Foibles isn't better known to the music-loving world. Start with "Solid Rock Baptist Rummage Sale" and "Holly Ann Place," but they're all amazing. Hussalonia
