Throwback cassettes feat. only the best, home grown tracks.

Hiiiii, so with the internet and all we figure you can stream or download this record for free anytime you want. Since you're here though, we'll guess it's because you are an avid music lover that wants to throw $$$ at the artists they love. So while we've set the price at $12 for this compilation, we all know that $1 per song is hogwash for the love and work and money that so many people put into this art. So, deep dive in your pocket and reimagine the way art is valued.

1.	Lolita Lynne - Leave Me Alone 04:50 video	lyrics	buy track
Leave me alone I’m in my head again Don’t take me home not to that bed again Memories of you still swirl in my brain Hoping your touch could still feel the same I wanna feel the lengths of your tongue Wishing I knew if you were the one Leave me alone Ill break your heart again Don’t get to close Ill tear you Limb from Limb All of the things that they tell you are true Please let me go Please let me go Leave me alone Im going out again Don’t take me home not till Im found again letting them take a piece of my time Hoping it gives me something of mine Losing my thoughts again in this crowd You slip away as I start to drown. Leave me alone Ill break your heart again Don’t get to close Ill tear you Limb from Limb All of the things that they tell you are true Please let me go Please let me go Leave me alone I’m in my head again Don’t take me home not to that bed again… Leave me alone Ill break your heart again Don’t get to close Ill tear you Limb from Limb All of the things that they tell you are true Please let me go Please let me go
2.	Sean Lambert - Violet 02:58 video	lyrics	buy track
Clouds setting into a violet haze, Shifting in forms with such vibrant rays Gently speakin' 'bout our old ways With voices still singin' 'bout our dark days You should go... Cause I just want to be alone So don't wait and waste your time, This sunrise has slowly been passing by Yeah mornings come... And beauty in it's wake comes undone This sky is looking so divine I don't need your lovin', trust me I'm fine I don't need your lovin', trust me I'm fine Sometimes life seems like a dream From starry eyes to your moonbeams So hear my words so soft and sweet I'll move the earth beneath your feet So take a moment, oh won't you please Just empty your mind, oh be at ease These moments are so hard to find Just find some meaning in it's design
3.	Soft People - New Moon 05:39 video	lyrics	buy track
Driving through the pines the bluest bird alive and out over the sea we felt something. Oh how it slips away we didn’t catch its name; was a little like fire, was a little like fate. Let it go, let it drift away Let it go, let it drift away It isn’t just desire— you see him floating in the waves the skiest eye, cerulean flame. How’d we get so high? We shot us to the moon; just a little too late, or a little too soon. Let it go, let it drift away Let it go, let it drift away If there’s always a new moon then I’ll always come back to you If there’s always a new moon then I’ll always come back to you Let it go, let it drift away Let it go, let it drift away If there’s always a new moon then I’ll always come back to you If there’s always a new moon then I’ll always come back to you Let it go, let it drift away Let it go, let it drift away And if I let you go, would you run run run away? And if I let you go, would you run right back to me? To me, to me— away, to me.
4.	Strange Pilgrim - Blue Light 03:27 video	lyrics	buy track
Walking day after day Trying to keep ahead Wondering if it’ll all turn out ok Keep moving down the road Horizon’s looking bleak Close your eyes, fade into Blue light Reading page after page Searching for some meaning Clouds of ink, can’t make out the words Keep hiding your face in a book Horizon’s looking bleak Close your eyes, fade into Blue light
5.	Slobo - Deep Within Her Lair 04:01 video	lyrics	buy track
There is no space between My eyes and the things they see Live in my brow Hanging upside down Stare at the blueberry sky Feel it inside It colours my mind Let's me drift on high An endless stretch of where Comes to me, pulls me through Deep within her lair She comes to me, tells me true With enough time alone I've always chose To have no head And live in my toes So, Mr traveling toad Untie your load Sit for a while Unravel your ode An endless stretch of where Comes to me, pulls me through Deep within her lair She comes to me, tells me true An endless stretch of where Comes to me, pulls me through Deep within her lair She comes to me, tells me true
6.	Overland Inn - Les Mauvais Jours 03:55 video	lyrics	buy track
Mon amour, moi j'ai pas peur des mauvais jours, alors partons avant que tu t'ennuies Mon amour, moi j'ai pas peur des mauvais jours, alors partons avant que tu te lasses Mon amour, moi j'ai pas peur des mauvais jours, alors partons avant que tu t'ennuies Mon amour, moi j'ai pas peur du mauvais temps, alors partons avant que tu te casses Mon amour, moi j'ai pas peur des mauvaises gens, alors partons avant que l'on s'ennuie Moi, Amour, moi j'ai pas peur des mauvaises langues, alors partons souvent, avant que l'on se fane
7.	Azere - Tree Leaves Leaving Trees 02:59 video	lyrics	buy track
I found out what love was and then I let go. Off grid, got the generator going, the rest is all show. A moment fleeting If you wanted a poem - just had to look out the window at the film unreeling. Tree leaves leaving trees It all seemed so scenic And the scent on this breeze is all I can believe in. And you can’t see me but I look like I mean it. There’s no meaning That could put this all together Better than the fact that one day I’ll be leaving So, fuck it... So, fuck it! You belong here with me The long nights are taking their toll And it’s a brand new feeling I like it when the world feels slow I like it when the world feels slow I like it when the world feels slow

I feel your broken heart
9.	Baby Bats - Bored to Death 04:28 video	lyrics	buy track
when i was young thought life would be a beautiful dream the way it was on tv thought it would be but i'm bored to death no one is looking no applause for me where's the screen? who counts to three? i want to be on air i'm looking backwards hoping i will find the time the stars didn't align the stars didn't align they say it's time give up my turn life through my body ""you'll be better better than me"" that's what they say
10.	Hot Jam Factory - Anytime 04:00 video	lyrics	buy track
Anytime, anytime, all the time in the world for I’ve been putting too much pressure on the weekend I think it’s time I spent a Saturday at home Unrehearsed, I’ve got nothing to say Turn some pages until my eyes go long Listen to you sing your song Anytime, anytime, all the time in the world for Do you feel behind, we’ve got time All the time in the world for Beside her all the way even when we fight Can’t help but know that everything’s alright Listen to her and hit the light Anytime, anytime, all the time in the world for Do you feel behind, we’ve got time All the time in the world for
11.	Day & Dream - Isosceles 02:33 video	lyrics	buy track
Watch how the lines intersect Into many shapes that can change Lines no longer parallel Circles you no longer can tell Watch how I hide in the corner, Wait for you to come and find So outstretched are the lines Ready to break free in your mind She will be the one to know you, know you I will be the one to hold you, hold you, hold you
12.	Dodola - Parasite 03:43 video	lyrics	buy track
I haven't any more to say, surely there's a way to get paid even if they're dead. I have to leave on holiday shortly. Whey they pay then leave their payments on my desk. Just slide the assets to your side, Slide 'til there's nothin' left. If you pick it up and say ""It's mine,"" In time they're bound to forget. Divine by a paradigm No sign of regret The height of a parasite You slimy fucking rat I have to stay on holiday, surely they're a way to get paid and never come back. I have to stay and spend your pay on my fantasy, you can keep what you collect. It's a little bit harder when you're so small that you don't see light, It's a little bit harder when you don't know what a heart looks like, If you were a little bit smarter, you'd know where you go when the host dies, If you go a little bit farther, it's gonna go bone dry. Divine by a paradigm No sign of regret The height of a parasite You slimy fucking rat

about

friendssss, we are happy to introduce NOIR, the second compilation in ongoing series, Shared Secrets.

featuring twelve artists from around the world in this second installment, with one final compilation on the way - this series is meant to be more than a moody soundtrack. Rather, we ask that you think of it as a canon of stories told by long ago friends.

ones told under the guise of night.
ones nearly lost amongst estranged bloodlines.
ones that illuminate who we've longed to be.
ones that free the memories walking circles in the shadows.
all meant to share years of feelings trapped in our throats.

we'll be releasing a track per week until the full compilation is out Nov 12th and hope you enjoy the ride.

Huge thank you to all the creatives involved on this project including my fellow curators Owen Sanger + Jeff Saltzman, designs & video by Christian Kim, as well as our mixing engineer Chris Hughes. And of course, one of the biggest thanks to all goes to the musicians who've contributed such beautiful tracks.

To friendship...
