Keith Abrahamsson and Adam Lekach of Mexican Summer stopped by the studio to talk about their record label, which has put out music from the likes of Kurt Vile, Best Coast, Washed Out and more.

The two are in Marfa for a day-long music festival happening at El Cosmico featuring <a href="https://ballroommarfa.org/wp-content/phpThumb/phpThumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/marfaPoster4.jpg&amp;q=96&amp;h=366&amp;fltr[]=usm|80|0.5|2" target="_blank" link-data="{&quot;link&quot;:{&quot;attributes&quot;:[],&quot;linkText&quot;:&quot;a handful of bands&quot;,&quot;target&quot;:&quot;NEW&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://ballroommarfa.org/wp-content/phpThumb/phpThumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/marfaPoster4.jpg&amp;q=96&amp;h=366&amp;fltr[]=usm|80|0.5|2&quot;,&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;00000184-8027-d6f8-a1cf-b62705210002&quot;,&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;ff658216-e70f-39d0-b660-bdfe57a5599a&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;00000184-8027-d6f8-a1cf-b62705210003&quot;,&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;809caec9-30e2-3666-8b71-b32ddbffc288&quot;}">a handful of bands</a> from the label's roster.
