We invited artist & friend, Michael John Kelly to make a Launderette inspired mix for us. He decided to make two. Here’s what he has to say about Volume 1 – Party Anthems: “I’ve been nostalgia’ing pretty hard lately. For a purer time in music. You had to dig for good records. Read zines from [...]
Things fall apart. Phil Harder has shot most of Duluth band, Low’s, videos over the years. Over The Ocean has always been our favorite.

The Books – Smells Like Content This music video by The Books is several years old, but the band is fitting for Launderette and this week’s theme. The charming simplicity of the video is quite enjoyable.
