You know the drill by now on how this works. This week, I picked the word “warm” because it’s that miserable time of year where the temperatures are starting to consistently hold above freezing (at least during the day) but the threat of another winter blast is still looming, ready to strike at any moment. So, I thought I would try to do my part to will Spring to arrive by channeling warm thoughts/sounds.
Let’s start out with a newish tune from Warm Ghost. I remember hearing about Warm Ghost, once a solo project by Paul Duncan that’s now a duo with Oliver Chapoy, via Bear in Heaven on the twitter and the facebook and I figured that Bear in Heaven is so awesome that they probably couldn’t be wrong. I’d already heard/enjoyed “Open The Wormhole In Your Heart” but hadn’t heard this tune from their Uncut Diamond EP until just now. But it’s just as lo-fi and awesome as I’d hoped for. And bonus points for a ridiculously long song title.

As I stated last week, the best part about this segment for me is that I usually find a pretty cool really old tune that I’d never heard, and this week was no different. This week’s vintage find was by Dwight Twilley Band and was originally released way back in 1976. Pretty catchy little rock tune here that speaks the truth. “I didn’t want to go because you were so warm.”

Here’s a tune that reminds me of some sort of royal processional melody if it had been wrung through a series of hallucinogenic filters. Despite that ridiculous/innacurate description, this tune from Blind Man’s Colour, a group from warm and sunny St. Petersberg, Florida, is pretty neat and it does kind of conjure images of happy summer times.

This next one was chosen on pure beauty alone. It’s by Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions and it’s real purty. You may remember Hope Sandoval from her captivating vocals in Massive Attack’s “Paradise Circus”, but here’s a great example of her in her real element from the 2009 album Through The Devil Softly.

And since this week’s tunes were all rather low key (which I am totally fine with), let’s close things out with something that’s sure to take us out on a high note, a Fred Falke remix! Here’s his take on Music Go Music‘s “Warm In The Shadows”. You know I love me some Fred Falke. And in true Fred Falke fashion, this remix is like a million minutes long, but all of them are enjoyable.

BONUS! This tune was not found during a hypem hunting session. In fact, I’ve already posted it once before. But it’s so good that I’m posting it again. Enjoy.
