Memoryhouse - When You Sleep (My Bloody Valentine Cover)(Yours Truly Session)

So it is finally here! Mixtape File #1. I hope this mix will speak for itself as, right now, office work and blogging do not mix well when the man is watching.  Damn the man!

But, download and enjoy. There’s plenty more to follow. - ramos (Jan. 5)

UPDATE 01/17/12:

Cloudy Sundays seem to always emit a nostalgic air, and while most of us who know better are licking their wounds from an evening of fun times and music, others of us wide-eyed and bushy tailed traverse through the empty street and highways listening to soft, long-ago melodies.

Mixtape File #1, set loose last year about this time, marked the beginning of our now year-long rant of what moves us and shakes us.  And a little over year since the inception, our voices in our heads still chatter and the music still plays loud and often to shut them all the hell up.     

Yet stepping onto memory lane, it seemed fitting to make some necessary adjustments to a half-assed posting.  Tagged appropriately and slipping in a photo to inspire you, we thank you for following.

About this: Expect for a more mature listen. Less edits, more  originals. This
mixtape was inspired and curated by the music heard in  the Palm Springs desert 
not so long ago from some of my finest friends  that are producers and fine
taste makers in music. It  will be a trip of  chill, but fast…instrumentals,
balearic vocals back  down to a  triumphant end. Listen all the way through.
Take a pause, and then  listen again if you must. Listen in the exact play
order. Finally,  enjoy.









With time, personal thoughts, and for the love of musical decadence,

Kevin Barnes - Harvest Moon (Neil Young Cover)

Crashing and burning onto our personal mixtape memory lane, I, at this ungodly hour, am stuck.  Thanks, Delacroix.  Definitely not light. Absolutely not tight.  It’s thick and creamy, as well as hot and steamy.

Anyways, as the sickly sadistic fools of sentiment that we are, here’s another diddy for that special Cuddlepalooza mixtape.

Kevin Barnes, the Bowie-esque frontman to the exceedingly theatrical band Of Montreal, is captured here performing a live cover of Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon.”  His acoustic presentation of this 1992 classic creates a beauteous lull that’s worth wrapping your cheesy heart around.

So, bleed the rest of the evening with this.

Clock Opera - Once and for All

Covered by our dear Delacroix for their flawless re-edit of “Me and the Moon” by the Drums (click here to check it out), UK band Clock Opera, like so many artists these days, dabble in both creating and recreating.  In this original work, Guy Connelly and company construct emotionally raw and elating pop tracks that ascend.  Coupling Connelly’s penetrating vocals and the band’s multi-layered instrumentation of synths, beats and keyboards, Clock Opera imparts to us uplifting pocket symphonies just in time to bust you out of your wintry despairing.  Introduced to us in the latest Kitsune’ dual disc compilation along with an amazing track by Flight Facilities (offered here.), Clock Opera promises to be something extraordinary both on stage and out.  So, until the official LP release in May, take this to start the spring season.

Family of the Year - Psyche or like Scope

Since releasing their 2010 LP Our Songbook (a collection of their prior self release and EPs), Los Angeles-based band Family of the Year has generated quite a buzz, as they’ve toured with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and stormed with them through Europe and the UK acquiring enthused notoriety wherever they go.

Generally, their work, or moreso Our Songbook, is a collection of gentle, quirky Americana suggesting them as a befitting opening act for the sing-song, jingle-jangled performances of  Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, which works fine if you’re into double-fisting that schwiz. Yet, this track …

“Psyche or like Scope” is a synth-laced disco track, clearly deviating from their obvious folkish leanings and venturing into territory that suggest a little exploring.

Sigur Ros -Staralfur (Heima Version)

In 2006, Sigur Ros (translated “Victory Rose) returned to their native Iceland and performed a series of free unannounced concerts in varying intimate, sometimes breathtaking, settings.  Documented in their 2007 video release Heima (meaning “home”), this delicate performance of “Staralfur” is one of the film’s key moments, expertly capturing the band’s cathartic wistfulness and redolence.

So, here’s a pretty thing to start this chilled Sunday morning …

Nicolas Jaar Space is Only Noise If You Can See the Mixtape Files Download Mp3

Song: Space is Only Noise if You Can See-Nicolas Jaar

I remember the first time hearing Nicolas Jaar at my friend Eduardo’s night VOODOO. It was pure magic. He did a special set for us that were there that night in where he sung live over his dj set. He truly is a musical chemist of sorts in a sense. It didn’t hurt that Michel Gondry was amongst us that night. Pretty sweet for a 120 capacity person party in an intimate downtown loft I must say.

Eduardo Castillo, Nicolas Jaar, and Andrei Osyka of Droog

Twenty-year-old electronic savant Nicolas Jaar is how you say…a prodigy? His compositions are warm, with various instrumentation incorporating piano, haunting groans, and austere field recordings. If he makes “house music,” it’s downright agoraphobic. Tempos are set for those who are patient and likes a good royal kick in the ass right WHERE it NEEDS it.

Jaar is the answer for chillwave escapists. Jaar’s eclectic range of influences go from Ricardo Villalobos, the spacious minimalism of Eric Satie, to the Ethio-jazz of Mulatu Astatke.

Cannot, cannot…I cannot stress enough, how excited I am to see him again (on multiple occasions) live…with his band….in MIAMI this week! Stoked bears!

A Sunny Day In Glasgow A Violet Mary Haunts Me or Loss of Forgetfulness on Renfrew Street Autumn Again the Mixtape Files Download Mp3

A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Violet Mary Haunts Me or Loss of Forgetfulness on Renfrew Street

The noise pop band known as A Sunny Day in Glasgow has, since their official inception in 2006, gone through several lineup changes in the last couple of years- losing their original vocalists, twin sisters Robin and Lauren Daniels; the dropping out (due to an accident) of bassist Brice Hickey; the recruitment of Annie Frederickson and subsequently Jen Goma on vocals; and the additions of new bandmembers Ryan Newmyer on bass and Adam Heardon on drums.

Having followed this Philly band since their original 2007 debut Scribble Mural Journal, these sad, but necessary, changes of late had left me skeptical in regards to their sound and production.  Yet with the release of 2009’s Ashes Grammar and 2010’s Autumn, Again, it’s clear that Ben Daniels, the band’s “founder”, has a clear vision and masterminds the shoe gazed musings of A Sunny Day in Glasgow, marking themselves alongside such indie pop darlings as Asobi Seksu and Radio Dept.

Tipping their experimental noise-pop aurals and harrowing harmonies to early Magnetic Fields and Jesus and Mary Chain, A Sunny Day in Glasgow creates pop songs laden in memory and lovelorn sentiment.  It’s not exactly the kind of tunes you play through your car with the top down, but the kind necessary to let that girl know you have feelings too, just so you can slip her expertly out of her jammy-jams, or what have you.

Best of luck.
