Here's the hardest thing about this mix, which is eminently listenable, breezy, almost effortless. The product of a group of people both connected in real life and connected spiritually, and, if we had to guess, maybe also connected by a love of weed and/or relaxing. The hardest thing is explaining the appeal. Why we're so into listening to distant, ghostly vocals floating over music that, on the surface, is wildly cheesy. Maybe the explanation isn't necessary though. It's either something you're down with or would rather just avoid—and we are firmly into it. Highlights include Korallreven's smoothed out take on Salem's "Frost," "Honey Mine," the previously mentioned collaboration between Korallreven and Taken by Trees, and both instances of Justin Bieber. Tracklist after the jump, but it's more fun to just let it ride.
