We are lucky enough to be premiering Loon Lake ‘s second mixtape in the lead to their debut album. The mixtape is an eclectic selection of songs that have influenced the creation of the bands upcoming LP. In the middle of all the musical gold, there is a new original from Loon Lake called ‘ I Love To See You Smile ‘.
‘ Gloamer ‘, Loon Lake’s debut LP, is set for release on October 11th and their brand new single ‘ Carolina ‘ is out now!
Tim, who curated the mix, had this to say about the mixtape:
These are just a few of the songs that I was listening to when we were recording the album. The real sweet thing about these songs isn’t just that the fact that they are well-written, but also the production and the amazing sounds they managed to capture. Whether it is a gritty muffed out guitar tone or experimental sounds from a synth, they are all truly unique.
I’ve also put our song ‘I Love to See You Smile.’ This was a tricky one for us to get right. Sime wrote this one and brought in a demo that was a cool stripped back guitar based rock song. Always loved it, especially the lyrics. We tried it a number of different ways and had a shit load of fights about it. Eventually, after we tore it to sheds, let our producer scham really took control of it and its come up a treat. Anyway, enjoy the mix.
