Andrew Boats - Ballad of Winter

Not really a mix but more of an old school mixtape, the kind you would make for girls in the hope of securing illicit lip locks under the stairs during the school disco! Not that it ever worked out that way, you still lived in hope that the right mix of songs could aid you in the quest for a young girls heart. Anyway most of the songs here I would listen to on my way to the recording/mixing sessions of our new album “Ballads Of The Research Department”.

I remember it being really cold waiting for the various buses and metros and this seemed to soundtrack my surroundings perfectly. Some of the pieces were a direct influence on how the album would turn out, sort of an audio mood board.

Grab yourself a hot drink and a blanket and enjoy. - Andrew Hargreaves
