Almost as soon as i finished the previous 5:4 mixtape, focusing on war, it seemed necessary that the next one should go in the opposite direction. For this love-infused mix, i’ve not allowed myself the usual interpretative free rein but have for the most part focused on songs and tracks generally emphasising positive aspects or sentiments.
As usual, it’s an eclectic selection, bringing together the worlds of pop (Curve, Tove Styrke, Marina, Queen of Hearts, Keep Shelly In Athens, Gordon Merrick & Liz Enthusiasm, Carly Rae Jepsen), classical (Alban Berg, Michael Finnissy, Andreas Scholl, Giuseppe Sinopoli), ballads (Julee Cruise, Eivør, Azure Ray, Dinosau, The Johnny Howard Orchestra), movie scores (Gottfried Huppertz, Isobel Waller-Bridge, Alexandre Desplat), dreamy or moody soundscapes (Jorja Chalmers, Fovea Hex, The Irrepressibles) and experimental sound art (irr. app. (ext.), AGF, Sleeping People, Leyland James Kirby).
