Hey, better late than never: Here we are a few days into May, and it’s time to (finally) spit out the latest in our monthly series of Auto Reverse mixtapes — two 45-minute chunks of music to help get you through your day. Below, you can stream or download the two sides, packed, as always, with vintage ’80s college rock and some new tracks.
This month’s tape includes brand-new recordings from Public Image Ltd. and X’s John Doe and Exene Cervenka, plus favorites both new and old from Depeche Mode, Southern Death Cult, Sad Lovers and Giants, My Bloody Valentine and New Order, and a few covers from the likes of School of Seven Bells, Xiu Xiu and Grant-Lee Phillips.
Check it about below — and enjoy.
