Album Hall #2

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm building (slowly but steadily) a CD collection and I have accumulated a good few albums over the last month or so.

ÁSGEIR: In The Silence
I received this for christmas, back in December and I'm pleased I did because it's a stunning album. I'm mostly only buying albums that I already love just because I think that's a good place to start. Anyway, the album is pretty good yet what Àsgeir lacks is versatility within his music. All in all though, a good album to listen to in the background.

CHILDISH GAMBINO: Because The Internet
This one I bought a week ago. I haven't listened to the whole album yet but I have listened to a few tracks such as 3005, Crawl, Oakland and a couple others and enjoyed them. Childish Gambino a.k.a. Donald Glover (from the TV show Community) is not only a singer but a rapper. His songs tell a story and are at times comical, Glover has a true solid voice throughout the songs I've listened to thus far, which makes me believe his authenticity.

BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB: So Long, See You Tomorrow
I. Am. Obsessed. With this album. I love every single track on this record as each brings me back to the summer of '13 when I discovered it. This album is one I can see my self going back to in years to come. Highly recommend.

CLOUD CONTROL: Dream Cave
Another album that I have a lot of love for. Again, I love each track and I haven't found myself getting sick of any of the songs and I've listened to it for a year or so consistently. I was reading an interview a couple of months back and discovered that Cloud Control actually recorded each song in a cave, which isn't hard to believe as each song has a lovely mystic sound to it with beautiful reverb (which I assume is accredited to the acoustics in the cave).

ANGUS AMD JULIA STONE: Self-titled
I've actually written a review on this album so if you want to find out more about it you can read it here. But again I love this album, it brings me back memories of summer also because of the laid-back vibes of each track particularly towards the front end of the album.

I have also stolen (I use that word loosely) three albums from my parents collection and those are Beyoncé's B'Day album (my favourite of hers), The Smiths - Best...1 and The Cranberries - No Need To Argue.

Lemonade Stand: Summer Mix Tape

Do you love music? Is your taste in music impeccable? If you answered yes to both of those questions, than I'm 99% sure that you're going to love my brand new 2014 Summer Mix Tape! Yay! I've decided that I'm going to release a new mix tape  at the turn of each new season, which means that my next mix tape will be coming out in Autumn, if I know my seasons well enough that is.

I have labeled this mix tape 'Lemonade Stand' and it combines a bunch of upbeat songs that I've been rockin' out to this summer. Bands such as The Preatures, Cloud Control, Half Moon Run, The Cure and even Queen (which was a shock to me as well).

My aim in creating these mix tapes is to share my love for music to the world, or my little corner of the internet, and hook people up into what is my massive obsession. Feel free to 'like' my mix tape on tape.ly and if you have created a mix tape yourself that you are ever so eager to share than please link it down in the comments below because I love discovering new music as much as I love lemonade and that's a whole lot.
