How the noise from the cars got louder and louder
During rush hour
Until it sounded like a river or a stream
And it felt like we were swimming
But it wasn’t just a dream
We were just
Happy
Lana Del Rey

Historie de baroque pop with Claude Mono
Sunshine Pop to Lee Hazelwood // Koushik to Lana Del Rey
baroque sounds, magical melodies… beats…
a headphone dreamscape
BONUS on the mixtape
The greatest ever Avalanches track not made by the Avalanches – its all 60s Baroque sample heaven with Glen Campbell, Mamas and the Papas, The American Breed, The Left Bank, Television Personalities and more.
But if you’re a Swedish Indiepop and Jens Lekman fan you already know its all about the lyrics like this written on the EP sleeve:
“She said it was all make-believe but I thought she said maple leaves”
and later
“I’m walking home to my suburb – Rain falls hard on the city – On every homeless kitty – Oh please god bring relief – Even if it’s only brief.”

… then The Golden Apples totally recommends these. They might just be the best thing you hear all year. Beautiful and Beautiful 2. Phil Most Chill AKA Soulman creates super mixtapes over at his blog THAT REAL SCHITT – mainly they are beat-influenced but in 2009 and 2010 Phil started to take side-trips to somewhere else way out there that is ‘Beautiful’ and full of space for the music and we think that you will want to go there with him… you really will.. no tracklistings but that just makes the listening experience even better for that magical listening moment … we have re-upped them here at the Golden Apples to help spread the word… send your love to Soulman over at his blog and beg him for some more of this….Claude
