    I know “twenty eight” wasn’t included in the original house of balloons tape but it was released later on. Each tape has an additional song to them. House of balloons has “twenty eight”, Thursday has “Valerie” , and echoes of silence has “til dawn (here comes the sun)” I would love for you to check those out any way you can and see your reaction. Great video!!!! I’m reliving this experience through them!

    For the number of times you mentioned enjoying having the songs unsettle you, which is something is didn’t notice from them but realized after hearing you mention it that is probably why I love the whole album so much, I would recommend listening to Avith Ortega(inspired by Akira Yamaoka‘s silent hill soundtracks) not necessarily video material but the unsettling calm in most of the songs is something I can’t get enough of. My fave song is Always a bright side, and I love the album Trail to the Past. Fair warning they are all ambient music

    You gotta listen to the bonus tracks that were added on trilogy (the remaster compilation of the 3 mixtapes). There’s 3 bonus tracks, each is after the 9th track of each mixtape. They are so good they might as well have been on the originals. Sidenote, the difference between the remastered versions and the original tracks aren’t as big as you might imagine, there are the few big changes here and there but overall the remaster carried over a lot of the samples.
