The mixtape has long been a central facet of Seth Price’s practice, from his compilations of New Jack Swing, industrial, and early video game music contextualized with essays as part of his Title Variable project to his soundtracks for fashion shows. Assembled in the spirit of the eclectic mixes he regularly posts on his SoundCloud page, Casual Holiday is a genre-trotting bricolage of music by Amancio D’Silva, Roy Montgomery, Nancy Dupree with a group of Rochester, NY youngsters, and more. Price has written that 'as a mass form operating outside commercial channels, the mix tape seems to stubbornly and perversely retain its purchase on the imagination long after actual mix-tapes have slipped free of storage constraints and lost any clear definition.' This hourlong cassette mix, with a printed shell and J-card signed and featuring artwork by Seth Price, returns such redistribution of cultural material from the spectral to the realm of the flesh, in a limited edition of 100 copies.
