Drowning in music. There are a few ways to imagine what that could mean, but in 
our case, it’s purely about the amount of amazing music that has been sent to us
over the past couple of months, but which has been put in a holding pattern because
so many freaking stellar records have been coming out week after week for some time
now.

By April of this year (which is a blur now), we realized it was getting harder and
harder to share all of the sweet music coming at us. One way we have been trying
to address that issue is by publishing longer playlists and mixtapes, and more frequently.
One example is this series, the successful **Recent Releases We Almost Missed **–
specifically focused on highlighting widely acclaimed LPs from relatively well-known
indie artists which would have otherwise been included – by release date – in IRC’s
weekly [**Best New Releases**](https://indierockcafe.com/category/2010-releases/)
series (you can listen to online, and download, all 24 of these mixtapes).

We really hope you will dig the songs in this post because they include awesome 
fresh tracks from artists and bands like **The Depreciation Guild, The Delta Mirror,
Jeremy Messersmith, Fol Chen, Double Dagger, The Octagon,  The Hundred in Hands,**
and** Common Loon.**
