CASSETTE REWIND: BREEZE PT. 2

Here’s the second part of my “summer” mixtape called Breeze. At first I was going to go with a slower feel for the tracks to counter the upbeat sounds of part one but as I was picking songs I decided to abandon that idea. It’s got a little bit of everything and I’m excited to finally post this for all of you. I’m starting to get kind of lazy with these descriptions so just enjoy what you hear and check the links to listen to more from the artists. Show your support any way that you can and feel free to like and reblog. Hopefully this mix will make the crazy heat outside more bearable and if you’re just hibernating inside then kick back, chill, and let it take you away.

Glowing House-Taming Lions

I’ve got to take a second from the usual sound of posts on here to bring this amazing track to your ears. While I’m personally not a huge fan of folk music other than a few exceptions (Fleet Foxes, My Morning Jacket, Laura Marling) Denver’s Glowing House led by husband and wife Steve Varney and Jess Parsons have changed my perspective on the genre. I came across this band by way of Colorado record label Holy Underground who’s signed CR featured artists such as Cerulean and Flashlights and what I heard was quite a nice surprise. “Taming Lions” is the first single from Glowing House’s sophomore album Days Out, due out on June 9th, and it’s nothing short of powerful. The main thing that I love about this song other than Varney’s raw, soulful vocals is the beautiful selection of instrumentation and how it sounds calm yet carries so much emotion. I’ll certainly be on the lookout for when Days Out is released but in the meantime you can listen to their debut LP The Annual Demise Of Every Aspen on Spotify. Be sure to grab “Taming Lions” for yourselves via bandcamp or soundcloud where it’s available for free.

Cerulean-Fucking Wind

Since I missed out on posting yesterday, today I’m going to post a few more songs than often. Starting things off this morning is a track from Elliot and Marilyn Baker, a brother/sister duo from Denver that go by the name of Cerulean. “Fucking Wind” is the band’s first single and it’s just in time for the start of the summer. The track is layered with lush, breezy sounding synths and soothing vocals wrapped up in a beautiful dream pop atmosphere. I hope to hear more from Cerulean in the near future but for now you can head over to bandcamp and grab the track for free. Also be sure to check them out on soundcloud. Recommended for fans of Twin Sister, Beach House, and Made In Heights.
