Jersey rockers Titus Andronicus have posted a free mixtape on their Tumblr this morning featuring a collection of B-sides, live recordings, rehearsals – the kind of rarities that we all love throwing on our playlists for the sake of pretension.
For those who aren't familiar with Titus Andronicus, it's not too late to hop on the bandwagon. The Monitor, released by the supreme and omnipotent UK based XL Recordings in 2010, garnered enough praise to earn them a spot on Rolling Stone's 7 "best new bands" of 2010 (a list that included both Mumford & Sons and Neon Indian).
A few tracks have been sampled below for your listening pleasure, but if you'd like to download it head to the link at the bottom of the page to the group's tumblr. They've included a brief explanation of many of the tracks on that site, so it's worth checking that out while downloading and/or listening.
