Paste’s November 2006 sampler corrals Beck, The Hold Steady and Shawn Colvin — a compact cross-section of indie rock, singer-songwriter craft and alt-country sensibilities. The Zutons bring jaunty indie pop, Copeland supply lush, midtempo indie rock, while Joseph Arthur and Jay Bennett favor intimate, acoustic-driven songwriting. Issued by Paste, the collection reads like a magazine-curated mixtape that even tips toward Commuter’s restrained electronica.
