Unlike an album, where it’s often about larger themes and cohesive sound pallets, mixtapes are all about variety. Or at least they were for me and my friends. So when putting this release together, I was more concerned with making sure none of the songs sounded too similar. It turned out to be a really fun change of pace. After so many years of stressing over cohesiveness, it was refreshing thinking of ways to destroy it.

More than just that, I have always worked with lots of different styles. Hence all my side projects over the years. I just stopped releasing my less acoustic work because I didn’t know where to put it. I no longer think that type of organization matters very much.

One positive change brought about by streaming, in my eyes, is that people are more willing to explore their musical tastes. Since it all costs the same, and you aren't purchasing an album before you know how you feel about it, there's little harm in trying something new. I personally don’t hear a lot of “I only listen to [insert genre]” kind of talk anymore, and I think the removal of risk is a part of that. As someone who never cared for all the genre arguments in the first place, I consider this a nice update.

So I’m using this Mixtape series as a container for all the misfits that show up as a result of explorations in the studio. Mixtape #2 is currently underway.
