I had a chance to check out Mayer Hawthorne and Chromeo’s concert last week at the Masquerade in Atlanta. Great show! I was also able to pick up some cool vinyl pieces while I was there. His new album, How Do You Do, will be dropping in October. Check out the tracklist below and some photos of his vinyl albums below.
Mayer Hawthorne’s sophomore album (and major label debut) will be released on October 11th. In anticipation of his new album, he will be releasing new music every monday as part of #MayerMondays. Here’s a remix of his current single, “A Long Time” by Chromeo. Nice!

Back in April, Mayer Hawthorne participated in Stones Throw’s first ever Direct-to-Disc Campaign, where the sets are recorded straight to vinyl-LP in real time. 500 Units will be pressed on vinyl… Here’s a sample. You can get the project here (if there are any left).

Here’s a new track off of Mayer Hawthorne’s upcoming 6-track Impressions covers EP which will be released online this week. The first song from the EP is an ELO cover entitled “Mr. Blue Sky”. The EP will also include covers of songs by Chromeo and The Isley Brothers, among others. I used to listen to ELO a lot back in the day… also, check out this great song by them entitled “Tight Rope“. (you may recognize where that sample was used – Okay, here.)
UPDATE: The EP is out and you can download it here.

Of course this is in an old song… but not old enough to be a throwback. I just realized I never posted this! Check out James Pants’ song “Thin Moon” (off the album Seven Seals) as well as Mayer Hawthorne’s cover of it. I actually heard the Mayer Hawthorne cover first… both are great. Between MED, James Pants, Madlib, and Mayer Hawthorne, I’m loving this Stones Throw roster. Anyways, videos after the break (as always)…

Mazda has linked up with Mayer Hawthorne for the nationwide Mazda2Music Tour set to kick off October 3rd in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Although this song has nothing to do with cars (more like a one night stand with “No Strings” attached), you can check the dates at their website and make sure you roll through when he hits your town.
