Less than a month until Incubate 2012. For the past few months we’ve been announcing new artists every week. But with 200 + artists coming up in September we can imagine you losing your hold. That’s why we compiled the Incubate 2012 Spotify playlist. Subscribing to this playlist will get you acquainted with most of the bands. Apart from their music, part of the getting-to-know-them-better-proces will also be us asking some of the artists a few questions in the upcoming months. So here are 7 questions to Mike Lindsay of Cheek Mountain Thief.

Where are you at the moment? What about last night? Where do you want to be?
In my borrowed apartment in london… I’m here with my girlfriend for the summer (very bad english summer)….  last night I was a basement synth palace in east london working with Tunng on our new record…. I would love to be on a Royal enfield motor bike with my girlfriend somewhere in India.. just for the afternoon…

Which album should’ve had your name on it?
Kites are fun by the Free Design

Slash
Haruki Murakami
Josh The Drummer from White Denim

What song is in your head right now?

Which festival did you last go to just for visiting instead of performing?

Do you have any band-rituals? Seen any weird ones along your way?
