We had really wanted to do a “theme mix”, and in it’s infancy, this was aimed towards Valentine’s Day. Fortunately, we got distracted within the first few minutes and decided to stick with a soundtrack that focused on mood rather than theme. Besides, if you really want someone telling you how to feel on Valentine’s Day, then I suggest going to see Valentine’s Day: The Movie this weekend (seriously though, do not go see Valentines Day: The Movie this weekend).
This mix contains some of our favorite ambient musicians, as well as some great indie rock hailing from our neck of the woods. The overall mood evokes a delirious, introspective atmosphere that can be enjoyed while driving alone, or laying in bed with another. In a sense, it represents the soft, diffused light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon, existing briefly in a liminal state between day and night.

Deer friends,
To celebrate the halfway point between the dark and light season, I give you this: a collection of some of my favourite childhood songs. Performed and recorded in true lo-fi-fashion over the days leading up to 2010’s Imbolc, these tracks will fit right in between your “Songs for Clem” and “Chipmunks in Low Places” records. Free download link is here. It’s a digital mix-tape!
