One of Portland's best and most prolific bands, Modest Mouse, (35) have the highest debut with the lead single, "Satellite Skin," from its forthcoming EP, No One's First & You're Next. Portland husband and wife Kevin and Anita Robinson -aka Viva Voce - return to the 'Tape with "Devotion," the first Mixtape entry from the band's just-released album, Rose City. How appropriate of a title is that? Finally, Portland dance act (and member of the DFA roster) YACHT return this week with "Psychic City." This one snuck in at 40, but should see upward movement in the following weeks.
Modest Mouse, Viva Voce, and YACHT join fellow Portland acts The Thermals (26) and The Gossip (29) in reppin' Stumptown on the Mixtape this week. It's been a good year for Portland music on the 'Tape - The Thermals, The Decemberists, and Blitzen Trapper have all hit the Mistape's top ten.
In non-Portland band news, Silversun Pickups make it nine weeks in a row to no great surprise. Camera Obscura (2) switches places with Woods (3) and SP's "It's Nice To Know You Work Alone" (4) does the same with Tinted Windows (5), thus keeping the same songs in the top five for the second week. Grizzly Bear, who last week looked set to break into the top five with "Cheerleader," (7) back down a spot but still own #6 with their second Veckatimest single, "Two Weeks," which jumps up from #19 last week.
Animal Collective's "My Girls" finally falls off the 'Tape after a 20-week stay that included three weeks at #1. The band's latest, "Summertime Clothes," (19) looks like it will return AC to the upper reaches of the Mixtape as it springs up 14 spots this week.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the sun if you got some. We here in Portland do. Cheers!
