Chilly Fall Mixtape Project: 13 & 14

Fall is really cool. Even when you're broke from fixing your car.

Well due to at least four or five of you still being psyched on the Chilly Fall Mixtape Project, I will indeed ride it out until the end in true Mixtape Project Fashion. Niether of these songs were originally intended to be included when I first got all of the songs together, but I've been listening to both of them quite a lot lately and I guess that means they must be good Fall songs? Right? Maybe? Whatever, I think so. You'll probably like them. They're both very good songs.

13. [MP3]: Kiss Me Deadly :: Groove
I've still yet to hear their album, but I've always held their first Alien8 EP very close to my heart. It was the first piece of music I ever bought off the internet and I actually still listen to it quite frequently these days. Something about the really breathy vocals just bring about images of foggy windows and steam come out of mouths. You might also notice the lovely bass work in the song, particularly a little bit before the three minute mark, where it takes the spotlight for a minute. I'd like to believe that where the song get's it's title, but who knows really. The songs main repeating lyrics "It doesn't matter if you're not alone. All alone. You're awesome" are some of the most completely pointless lyrics I've ever heard; yet, I really genuinely love them for some reason. It could be the way she sings them. Hmm, this got kinda long and run-on-ish didn't it? Oops.

14. [MP3]: Halifax Pier :: Lightly Noise
This song doesn't really have much in common with the previous song other than the fact that I like them both. The song opens with a steady stomping bass kick, eventually joined by plucked acoustic guitar, then vocals, then finger snaps... you get the idea. As this song moves through it's near seven minutes, it is continually adding sound upon sound until it cant stack any higher. Following right on the tail of the finger snaps is a angelic chorus of "oohs," which is soon joined by some strings, that, at first sound like fiddling, but eventually transform into gentle violin. When the vocals finally come around for the second time, they're much more commanding, with multiple voices chanting "Sing a song! Sing along! Sing for a long long time!" while violin saws back and forth in the background.
