You guys know how this works by now, right? Yes. Songs I like, in the order I like them. “Audio movies”? If I could think of a more pretentious way to describe something as simple as a playlist, I’d use it. Just wait until I learn how to actually mix some shit.

“Jet lagged & buzzing from Friday’s show in Paris, I couldn’t sleep…so I stayed up all night with Oko talking about color based dreams while blending these tracks together. Since the album came out, a lot of people on the road have been telling us they are curious to hear some of the unreleased music from the Kill For Love sessions…Recorded November 2009 through December 2011, these songs were all mixed between 4 & 6 a.m. After hours of tracking at the studio in Montreal, we’d clear the channels on the mixer, open a bottle of wine, & feel around in the dark…working our way through the atmospheric elements & peeling back layers of rhythm…throwing the songs into the abstract pile & playing them while driving home in the snow. In Amsterdam right now trying to upload it from the hotel. Fingers crossed…

This is a lullaby for you…
Sweet Dreams!

I’m still never too sure when to listen to it. It has a strange mood, but when I do mess with it, it gets better every time.

As I type this, I’m actually sitting and listening to it straight through for the first time. Following up the album’s successful release is this special, stripped-down (yes, that’s possible) drumless version:

“I was really liking the way the vocal mixes sounded with no drums and I think that the drums on the album are so heavy, that it’s interesting to hear the record as this almost-empty, almost-a cappella kind of thing.”
