july mixtape

Wow! It has been a long time since I last posted! There's a lot going on right now, a lot to be excited about, but rather than try to get you all caught up I thought I'd post a mix of the songs that are on repeat in my house these days. This mix is also for Jill, because it's been a while since I made her a new mix (too long, buddy, sorry!) and I think this might be just the thing to listen to while hanging in Bowness making jam. Enjoy! Summer is finally here in Vancouver so I have to get outside and enjoy it while it lasts!

kill for love • chromatics

it's gonna take an airplane • destroyer

go outside • cults

shining escalade • hot chip

the nights of wine and roses • japandroids

1. quién? (suite) - juana molina

2. in the fog III - tim hecker

3. s'vive - bibio

4. lately - washed out

5. roller skates - samiyam

6. summerdata - emeralds
