Mix For The Weekend VI
Hooray! Its the weekend and we have some great music in store for you just as we have in our previous FIVE ‘Mix For the Weekend”s (although we think this is our BEST yet!). Half remniscent of the dark evenings we’ve been seeing lately, losing 4 minutes of daylight each day turns our heads more towards the holiday season, yet we’re still able to keep our eyes on great music we’ve seen this year. The overall theme is misty and gloomy as we see less and less daylight heading into mid-November.
While it may not be of any new news to you, Thom Yorke’s track below “Hearing Damage” is fantastic and has been one of my most listened to tracks recently. We’re also excited for Hurricane Bells’ release of Tonight Is The Ghost this Tuesday (November 10th), featuring their track “Freezing Rain”. We would have mentioned it earlier, but a solid album from The Rifles (one of our favorite UK bands this year), have so many good tracks from their album The Great Escape. As far as singles go, “I Became A Prostitue” by The Twilight Sad is among my favorite songs as of recent. Something about these guys get me every time, despite how morbid the lyrics turn out. Throw Me The Statue’s “Ancestors” has also been on repeat for me, along with all of these tracks really. Between Metric and The xx below, clearly an abundance of good music can be found here. We apologize for no remixes this time around since we somewhat exhausted ourselves last week.
There are lots of new tracks here as well as a few old ones too, so I hope you enjoy this mix and put it on your iPod for the weekend. We’ve also linked all of the ‘buy’ links to iTunes, so we hope you support these bands as well. Cheers!
