Dream Weapons present: SOLEMN SOLEIL C60



Solemn Soleil is a playlist that perfectly exemplifies the Scandinavian summer. At times brilliantine and blazing hot, switching swiftly to downpours and seeking shelter in bars where all you want to do is listen to sad lullabies. There are some more well-known songs on this mix, it wasn't an attempt at obscurity, merely a nice collection to listen to depending on the weather.

Dream weapons present: YESTERLAND C90


Welcome (back) to Yesterland! I took the title from an online theme park for discontinued Disneyland attractions. Its actually a reworking of my third Pre-Rock mixtape* now improved in sound and flow with thirteen "brand new" and better tunes! Just about as fresh as a revisit to Yesterland can get...

One reason I love compiling music from the days of shellac is that the concept of «around the world in music» works like magic when the tunes are sonically unified in murky sound and hiss. Of course another appeal is that from the first half of the 20th century there's still so much unheard greatness out there waiting to get discovered.

*originally shared elsewhere over three years ago. Plus I’m well aware that rock had existed for a couple of years in 1957, but the two tunes in question sound as if they’re from ancient times.
