Every year, two thousand bands descend upon Austin, Texas, for the annual South By Southwest Music Festival, and every year it's nearly impossible to figure out which bands a person should see or check out on the Internets. This SXSW 2012: Acoustic mixtape sorts through more than 1,300 tracks to highlight some of the very best mellow acoustic music from some of SXSW 2012's best musicians and bands you've never heard of. Featuring Danny Malone, Arborea, and Wild Child.

A long mix for a slow, early Monday. Features Iron & Wine, Mumford & Sons, and Sufjan Stevens.

Songs for early mornings in bed including music by Brett Dennen, Bright Eyes, and Damien Rice.

Eight tracks including music by Cory Branan, Danny Malone, and Drive-By Truckers.

A collection of covers that I really enjoy by bands such as The Arcade Fire, Bon Iver and Florence and the Machine.

Kick back and relax, or cry. Amazing songs. Twelve tracks including music by Norah Jones, Bon Iver and Bright Eyes.

Fourteen tracks including music by Neil Young, Kelley Stoltz, and Cat Power.

this turned out to be a mix of (mostly) sad songs for a friend who makes me very happy!
