... No One Listens (50)

 

Originally titled '50' in my 'Year of Music' series. This mix was one of the more listened to mixes of the year, which came as a bit of a surprise to me, but probably down to the fact someone with a larger following shared it. Disappointingly it didn't lead to more engagement with the fundraising reason I was doing this, or with many of the other mixes I posted.

I've titled this '... No One Listens', for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's a line from the Fink track that appears in the mix - "No one hears if no one listens", and it feels kind of apt given how I look back on things. The cover image has been given a revamp too, though I have used the same photo that I used originally, which is of the Scott Monument in Edinburgh, taken from the North Bridge (I think).

I kind of struggle with the pigeon hole aspect of musical genres, the lines are forever becoming more blurred to me, but I'd put this in the realms of post-rock, alt, psychedelic, space rock and kosmiche.
