I've been loving the mixes being posted, so I've decided to throw one into the lot. Here is a dreampop/shoegaze mix, mainly focused on Cocteau Twins, Wild Nothing, Asobi Seksu, and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Other gems are included as well.
The title and picture for the post (first line of Neuromancer and artwork from Akira) are in line with the glossy, technological sheen of the mix while also pointing to some of its melancholy overtones. You can download the mix here, which includes the .m3u playlist. Enjoy.

yes! downloading now. oh grantly with your anime shoegazing ways.
i'm also loving the mixes. keep them coming!
also, i hope atypedesign didn't charge you for hosting your mix. we all know how he can be sometimes....
It was free of charge...this time...
I love the title. Definitely one of my favorite opening lines. I'm driving down to Franklin tonight to go see Holy Grail at the newly reopened theatre down there -- I'll give it a listen on the way there and back!
This mix is very Grant-errific (and, I mean that in a good way). While I only recently got into the Cocteau Twins (not sure what took me so long on that one, I guess I just had to wait until the time was right), I am really only now at the beginning stages of starting to enjoy a good bit of this shoegazer/dreampop/whatever-else-people-want-to-call-it stuff, but I feel like I’m going deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole and only enjoying it more as more of these gems are being uncovered for me to enjoy. I was really digging the songs by A Sunny Day in Glasgow (especially “Failure”). These Wild Nothing songs you put on here are helping me get more into Wild Nothing… the more I keep hearing them the more I’m liking them. “Tokyo” by California Wives” is delicious and right up my alley. And, “Transparence” by Asobi Seksu was EVER so tasty. Thanks for the good tunes.
