FLOAT
______________________
This is the last song that I wanted to share/post for tonight; I’ve been listening to it quite a lot. The folks over at Neon Gold sum it up quite nicely:

Ko Ko is yet another band staking claim to the Californian goldmine of talent that’s about to sweep the nation. Opening with candy coated whistles that will literally make your mouth water, “Float” is a heavenly paradigm that sounds like a summer-salted highball of Fun and Coconut Records. Their sunbeaming vocals and spine-tingling harmonies drift across a carefree backbeat that’s basically a publisher’s dream come true, like the vibrant love child of Feist’s “1, 2, 3, 4” and Edward Sharpe’s “Home”. Your summer anthem’s arrived a couple months early, but something tells us no one’s going to mind.

Download this song at the source and enjoy.

AN AFTERNOON
___________________________________

(Yes, this really is the third revision for this mixtape.)

I’m not really sure how this one came about. I suppose I was feeling a bit mellow and, apparently, after listening to it in full, a romantic sap (no, this isn’t a compilation with dreary undertones and whatnot; note the cover- it’s a handsome man with quite an attractive and infectious smile. What does this have to do with the actual mix? I’m not sure, I just had to put it out there). And besides, it’s “4/20” so I wanted to put something out that would be a comfortable and easy-listening mix for those that needed something to listen to while they “come down” from whatever it is they were/are on. It’s a short mix with only 10 11 songs, totaling up to about 34 39 minutes; I tried to put some other bands and musicians that I haven’t put on a mix yet but decided to settle for this (ETA: I did, however, omit a couple of tracks and replaced them with Beach House, which is a legit 192 kbps rip of “Wishes”- not the webrip, Lotus Plaza and Savoir Adore.).

There’s still a lot of stuff that I have yet to listen to and an alternative/indie mix has been due for quite some time…perhaps later. Maybe within a couple of hours. A day. Or perhaps even next week. My mind’s been all over the place so it’s been hard to navigate through it, yet alone compile a cohesive compilation of tunes for all you listeners (and myself) out there. The only temporary cure has been reading, reading and more reading- some for leisure, others for school.

Enough with the chit-chat, though…

I have literally been waiting all day for someone to rip this. Thank you to whoever purchased, ripped and uploaded this song/EP onto the interwebs. A happy Record Store Day, indeed!

(I would not mind an album’s worth of covers done by these guys. They really know how to rework songs and make it their “own.”)
