Yesterday, Matt & Kim released their brand-new album Sidewalks and to help celebrate, Jay Drake, the one man band behind Cassettes Won’t Listen, has recorded a cover of the single ‘Cameras.’ CWL itself will be releasing a new album next year, a follow-up to 2008′s Small-Time Machine.
Things haven’t been all quiet on the CWL front since 2008 though, in October of this year, CWL launched a new instrumental side project under the name, Dfalt with a free mixtape which you can download on the project’s site.

Cassettes Won’t Listen has a new record coming – teaser trailer below! – but far more exciting is the mixtape he’s put out under the Dfalt name.
CWL calls Dfalt “a palette cleanser to help get through writer’s/producer’s block and guide me seamlessly from producer of one group to musician of another. After a few months I had amassed a collection of music that I really enjoyed. I realized had an album close to completion.”
And The Stupid Rifle Mixtape is really rather spiffy. There’s also a single, “Summer Drinks”, which you can pick up on iTunes. Download the mixtape here for free.
