October 2013: Closer to Your Heart

Closer to Your Heart from letmeget on 8tracks Radio.

If You're Short on Time (Like I've Been...):
Apologies for taking so long with this mix; fortunately, it's a great one. "Wait for Love" is from St. Lucia's predictably infectious LP, When the Night (since none of the tracks are on SoundCloud, you can stream the whole album by following the link below). "Take Me Higher" is also from Cut Copy's upcoming LP, Free Your Mind, which can be streamed over at Pitchfork here. "Afterlife" is, as you probably know, from Arcade Fire's annoyingly over-hyped and rather polarizing LP Reflektor that is still definitely worth a listen (stream it here). The lyric video for "Afterlife," essentially a montage of clips from the film Black Orpheus, is simple but surprisingly effective (not only this video, but also the album artwork and two other songs reference the Orpheus myth; brush up on your mythology here). I wish I could pick favorites, but it's hard to say with this playlist. The remixes are all interesting takes on the originals, so be sure to listen to as many as you can. Happy listening, and happy Halloween!
