Mysterious Toronto R&B collective The Weeknd has released a free mixtape, House of Balloons, that can be downloaded here. The 9 songs are generally long, slow jams; creating a sustained mood of desperation, emptiness, and doubt. The music is lush and haunting, perfectly coinciding with the hedonistic tales set forth. Bonus points for use of Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Happy House" in the title track.
My favorite song so far on House of Balloons is "Loft Music:"
I will likely have a review of the full mixtape in the coming weeks.
