Since 2011, the Gainesville, Flordia-based independent label Elestial Sound has released a mix of avant-pop, electronic, and hip-hop acts including the first album by Hundred Waters (now a Stereogum favorite) and Jane Jane Pollock (an experimental pop band from Georgia with a string of excellent albums out). On April 30th, the label will release a compilation of its 2013 roster, ranging from ChromadaData's slow-tempo patchwork of samples and electronic beats (hear "In The Sky" via Soundcloud) to Emily Reo's wide-eyed dream pop (which we introduced you to a couple of weeks ago). In advance of the comp, check out this mini-documentary covering the past couple of years spent releasing vinyl records, building the label's work space/show space in Florida, driving their bands around on tours with their veggie-oil-powered buses, and fostering an underground community in Florida. The tracklist for the compilation is also below.
