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.
