GRL MTN Presents: Aaural II

Posted on: July 17th, 2012 by Matt Gilles

I hate to pull our own chain like this, but we’re extremely proud to be expanding the Ann Arbor-based GRL MTN music collective (of which we at Zen Tapes are all members of) to some new friends. To usher in our extended family, we’ve created Aaural II, a compilation comprised of exclusive tracks all across the board.

As we continue to evolve, we’d like to give you a permanent invitation into our ever-morphing world through the machinery of a brand new website, which has been painstakingly created from the ground up by our own Cory Levinson (!!). It’s simply GRLMTN.com. Go figure.

We really hope that you enjoy the new homestead of our music and that you have some great times on your own accord with Aaural II playing somewhere in the background. For now, enjoy a few tracks from our newly indoctrinated friends:

mp3: OldKid: “Urban (P)light”

mp3: Known Moons: “The Structures の 様 Child”

mp3: Samn Johnson: “Pictured Rocks”

P.S.- we even have t-shirts for sale!

AAURAL: An Ann Arbor, Michigan Compilation

Posted on: June 5th, 2011 by Matt Gilles

Theres something about the Ann Arbor aura that seems to draw together like minds. Compiled by GRL MTN [Jeremy Malvin (Chrome Sparks)], AAURAL is a showcase of the beautiful music made by our friends in our quirky Midwestern town. We welcome you into our little home which frequents warm tides of synths, chopped/warped/tripped vocals, and bright, glimmering guitars to remind you just how good summer is- coming from a place where it snows 3/4ths of the year.

I’ve taken the liberty of selecting a few of my personal favorite jams to be indulged in below. Be sure to ride the whole vibe; enjoy AAURAL streaming below or download AAURAL for free here. Either way, be sure to come over next time you’re in Michigan!
