Terrassa Mix

Another mix, this one revolves around the Catalan city of Terrassa.  Just north of Barcelona, it's 45 minutes by FGC, accessible from downtown BCN, and definitely worth a visit.  At least I think so, though I'm primarily fascinated with it for language and cultural reasons, since there isn't much intrinsically touristic about it.  I'll probably talk about it more in another post.

The songs on this mix are pretty low-key and relaxed, having more of an acoustic or laid-back feel to them. They're definitely not the upbeat frenetic tracks features in the previous mix I posted.  R.E.M. dominates the mix, though most of the music is Spanish indie, with Catalan indie band Love of Lesbian dominating.  These songs just "feel" Terrassa to me, as they feature a music style that really feels inherent to the city.  I also use this mix as a rainy day playlist because the music has an almost melancholic sound without being outright depressing.
