So, it’s not Monday. However, we are dedicated to these small collections of songs. Thus, here is our Tuesday Mini Mixtape? No, for cohesion sake we’re sticking with “Monday.”
MONDAY MINI MIXTAPE: mayFOUR, world. Check out the tunes on our Soundcloud [HERE] and be sure to throw some coin at the artists you’re liking.
01. CHVRCHES – “Gun” :: The massive synthanthems won’t stop coming from this group. Huge summer single.
02. TOVE LO – “Habits” (The Jane Doze Remix) :: Our DJ BFFs The Jane Doze, playing our Fourth Estate Summit this August, have just dropped a new remix to Tove Lo’s “Habits.” FLOORFILLER.
03. CLARE MAGUIRE – “Changing Faces” :: This song. Clare has returned in a serious way with this utterly beautiful ballad. Some people are throwing around “Hallelujah” comparisons, which for any other track would be outlandish. They hold on this one, though. We’ve played this countless times.
04. MATT CORBY – “Resolution” :: Australia’s Matt Corby brings it once more with these soaring vox.
05. ELLIE GOULDING – “Tessellate” :: Little known fact – I love a good sax. Thankfully, Noah Beresin (who goes by Xaphoon Jones) seems to have the same brass affinity. He produced this Alt-J cover along with Ellie’s take on The Weeknd’s “High For This.”
06. HAERTS – “All The Days” :: There’s something so nostalgic about lead singer Nina’s voice. I’m feeling some strange Stevie Nicks vibes on the chorus, which is lovely.
07. THE LAWSUITS – “Onion” :: Odd-rock from Philadelphia’s The Laswuits. It’s good.
08. IMAGINARY FRIEND – “Fire Escape” :: A very relaxed ending to this week’s mixtape courtesy of a recommendation from Alex Collins.
