Into Focus - a yvynyl mixtape

It’s been nine months since I last dropped a proper mixtape on you guys. Not a week goes by lately that someone doesn’t send me a note asking me when the next one’s coming out. Honestly, I half-build playlists all the time, but sitting down and getting them done - like done done - seems harder than it once was. Maybe that’s a small sliver of how Kevin Shields felt. But I’ve finally finished this one - pulled it into focus. Some of these songs have been sitting in my ‘new mixtape’ folder for nearly that long, which is a shame because they slay. You’ll see.
