TRADE WINDS

I was originally going to compile a mix of songs that went well with La Sera’s “Break My Heart” but then I got a hold of Grimes’ “Angel” and now I’m working on something a little bit different….

DARK PARTS
___________________________________________

So before I put up the last mix (Built to Rebuild), I was actually working on this one. Initially, this was only going to have 10 songs and would’ve been the shortest mix I’ve ever compiled; however, I didn’t think those 10 songs really translated just how (allow me to blatantly put it) “shitty” I felt. I won’t tell you everything because it’s personal and I’d rather not share it with however many of you read these things but, I’m sure you’ve all been there and experienced it at some point already- I’m inexperienced and have just endured the early phases of this complex emotion that is so sought-after and it finally fucking got to me this past month or so- it was literally all I could think about and crave for.

Dark Parts was built around the song of the same name, which was performed by Perfume Genius, and if you listen to it and this compilation in its entirety, you’ll know exactly where I’m coming from. You might even be in the same situation (but I’m hoping you’ll get out of it soon as compiling these mixes has made me laugh at how poorly I went about this whole thing. Ah, the power of music. I’d also like to add that the photograph chosen for this mixtape is fucking awesome, hence no text.).

BUILT TO REBUILD
_____________________________________________

I’ve been in a weird music funk as of lately and haven’t been able to listen to anything else aside from Lana Del Rey, Perfume Genius and Porcelain Raft. I figured it was time to shake it off because A) I don’t want to be sick of any of these three records as the year progresses and B) there’s been a shitload of amazing leaks and releases that I was/have not been listening to (this also applies to the bands/musicians that have been e-mailing me. I’m trying to think of a better and easier way for your content to get heard through this website as I have not been checking my e-mails as consistently as I should be- I sincerely and regrettably apologize for that). I was working on another one at the wee-early hours of this morning but I decided to go for a different sound/mood. Like the previous mixtape I compiled back in January (Light-headed), this one continues on with the alternative/indie genre and contains some bands that I haven’t been listened to since summer so there’s a blend of tracks from 2011 and 2012 (as it should be). Listening to the other three records have kept me at a standstill- personally, physically and musically, so it’s nice to be able to move around and bob my head side-to-side rather than curling up in a ball with my layers of blanket hovering over me. With that being said (or typed), I hope you guys enjoy it.

(On another note, there’s still a lot of music that I have yet placed onto a mixtape but I think the next one will be more upbeat and electronic/funk/not mellow or moody. It might be moody but, it’ll be the good kind.)

orcaorca:

“Underground” is the first single off the next Orca Orca release entitled Make Live. It’s a redux-version of a demo that was released in November 2010 and has undergone a few changes in the live setting this year that I wanted to capture on record.

Make Live will be released on a limited edition (100), hand painted cassette February 21st and will feature 6 new Orca Orca recordings. The artwork for the tape, including the cover art, will feature drawings from the incredibly talented Jesse Treece. Stay tuned for further details coming soon but for now grab a free download of “Underground” on our Bandcamp.

LE CHEVALIER - Monte Carlo

Le canadien est un habitué des ovni pop, après une reprise au synthé d’Edith Piaf, la France continue de l’inspirer avec un nouveau morceau sur le félon monégasque.

I don’t speak/read French but, it probably says, “you should download this track because it’s fucking pure tropical bliss and it’ll make you feel all nice and warm.”
