Welcome to part 108 of my Never Ending Mixtape!
The mixtape is hurtling towards the 5,000 landmark. I add songs regularly, with no thought to the flow or structure, unlike the mixtapes and CD's I would make in my younger days.
As a result, my Never Ending Mixtape jumps from 4,802 to 4,852 with the addition of Brittle by my friend Alan's band Broken by Rock.
Alan originally recorded it around 10-years ago, but it was only ever available on Soundlcoud. At the time, I described it as being like a fragile New Order. I've brought the song up with Alan a number of times over the years, as I really fell for the feel of the song and recording. I am delighted that Alan has (finally) decided to release Brittle to the wider world! I love the groove, the vocal melody and the delicious synth sounds, especially in the instrumental outro that I imagine being extended for a 12-inch version.
Alan; The whole thing was recorded using synths and ableton live. I lost all the tracking when my old Mac died suddenly, so only have the master. I did think about re-recording it with the band but thought 'fuck it', just stick with the original version and not try to mess with it.
Brittle is New Wave, DIY, bedroom synth pop. I love it and hope you check it out.
Thanks if you are one of the 379 who follow the playlist, or if you check in on it (and my blog) from time to time. And welcome if you have just discovered both.
As always, I hope you find something wonderful that you've never heard before, or that you rediscover an old favourite song. I personally play my Never Ending Mixtape on shuffle, but play from the start, the middle, or scroll down (could take a while!) to the latest additions.
