Oh Yeah.

3/4 - an odd-time mix

I love Math Rock and songs that use odd time signatures. Especially 3/4, I dunno how it does it but there’s a very different feeling to it. It flows really well like a normal 4/4 song but you can also hear slight breaks from that flow that I really love. The songs on this mix may not all be 3/4, some might not even be odd-time but you can still pick up a few intricate changes in the song’s beat.

1. Velvet Blanc - toe
2. Fierce Pit Bosses - Enemies
3. 65 Doesn’t Understand You - 65daysofstatic
4. Knights - Minus The Bear
5. One Day You’ll Be There - +/-
6. Ocean - Musical O
7. My God It’s Full Of Stars - Aerial
8. Our Love Has Made Us Pariahs - Empire! Empire (I Was A Lonely Estate)
9. Crocodile - This Town Needs Guns
10. The Summer Ends - American Football
11. Never Meant - Owen

Speaking Without Words: a Post-Rock mix

So if you’ve been reading through my music posts, then you probably might notice that like 1 out of 5 of my music posts are about Post-Rock. That’s because I love the genre so much. I dunno how to explain it but it ‘gets to me’. I swear the first time I ever heard This Will Destroy You, I put my hand over my mouth because I was grinning so much out of sheer joy that people might think I was schizophrenic or something. I get this emotional reaction whenever I hear a great post-rock song for the first time. It sounds so great without the need of lyrics or vocals (although some bands do have vocalists). I think that might be a big reason why I like the genre so much. Because I’m not much of a talker and its almost like post-rock is very introverted as well.

so if you’re familiar with the genre I hope you’ll like these songs.

and if you’re new to the genre then may this mix be a little sampler of what post-rock is :D

7. Red Paper Lanterns - Maybeshewill
8. It Must Be Called “Intelligence” If People Stop When They Realize They Are Not Able To Become What They Are Wishing to Be - té
9. Retreat! Retreat! - 65daysofstatic
10. I Capture Castles - And So I Watch You From Afar
11. Piano - Enemies
