This is my all time favourite mixtape without a doubt. An hour of sad/weird/optimistic/apocalyptic but relaxing music that is nice to listen to but makes you feel like death at the same time. Like you're watching the sun crash into the Earth and there's nothing you can do but it's amazing and and beautiful and you know it all ends but it's fine (wow over-dramatic description there Sarah...) This has been out for a while, in fact I first downloaded it around a year ago and I don't know if it fells the same to me now as it did then, it's a bit irrelevant to how I'm feeling these days but maybe you'll enjoy it anyway (wintery mixtape?). It was put together by the bassist of Tame Impala (a quality psychedelic band if I may say so) and he writes cute little notes under all his choices for the tracklist.

here for the tracklist which includes Aphex Twin, The Strokes, Foals, The Horrors, Wairpaint and David Bowie all beautifully put together with hints of hip hop next to long dreamy instrumentals from The Horrors (Who's new album is coming out very soon!)
The Modular record label website puts out heaps of these mixtapes made by their bands and they're pretty swell so check them out.
