Indie Affinity: Mixtape No. 1

For this mix-tape, I’ve devised a collection of the songs I currently find myself wanting to listen to as fall commences. In creating this list, I set off on a mission to gather songs associated with the season. I relate fall to being easy-going, so that’s where I drew my inspiration from. However my goal was to produce a compilation not only suitable for autumn, but one that can also be enjoyed year-round. This list’s overall tone of subdued vibrancy and my selections for  it’s contents, unite upbeat folk pop and somber indie rock, I found that the contrasting styles make for a surprisingly mesmerizing partnership. Enjoy…

2. The Middle East-”Blood”
