Yes Homo Pop Princess Mix 4

My friend introduced me to the "Maintenant" album by Gigi  awhile back saying, "I think you will like this."  Well they were right, a thank you to them and a little bit about the album from The Line Of Best Fit.

"Several years ago Vancouver grassroots studio-meister Colin Stewart (Cave Singers, Black Mountain, Destroyer) got hold of a pair of vintage plate reverbs – as used to produce the distinctive sound of the late 50s and early 60s Motown and ‘Brill Building’ classics. Those lush productions were enhanced by injecting the original sound into large metal sheets and picking up the reverberations to merge into the mix. With a nice piece of kit begging for a sympathetic project, Stewart teamed up with singer/songwriter Nick Krgovich to source a couple of appropriate tunes. As befitting the spirit of the era, these were laid down in single takes in one night by a group of friends and fellow travellers at the Hive Studios. The buzz generated that night then inspired a series of sessions and new songs from a collection of artists (e.g. Owen Pallett, Zac Pennington of Parenthetical Girls) over the next few years. Finally they see the light of day under the name of Gigi. via"

There are two tracks from the album on this mix.  One of those is, "The Marquee," with Kate Eastburn. 

Check out the samples behind the jump.

Trinah- Sugary Pleasure

Over all it's a very poppy girly mix.  I don't think you will be disappointed if that's your cup of tea.  It may even have a little more of an upbeat tempo in comparison to some of the other mixes.  I like to start off by listening to it while curled up in my window seat staring out into the night, thinking of Pacey.  Then when it starts to pick up the pace I like to try on different outfits, jump around, and sing into my comb.  I am not saying you have to do this as well, it would just be nice, that's all.
