The Weeknd: House of Balloons Vinyl 2LP
$32.95
<p><i>There was a time when EVERYONE was wondering who the hell <strong>The Weeknd</strong> was.</i> Here is what we knew. His take on R&B was pretty unique, or at least from <strong>The-Dream</strong>'s school of dark and moody. He wasn't signed. Dude wouldn't do interviews. He had a killer track with a <a href="http://www.turntablelab.com/search?q=beach+house" target="_blank"><strong>Beach House</strong></a> sample and flipped <a href="http://www.turntablelab.com/search?q=siouxsie" target="_blank"><strong>Siouxsie</strong></a>. <em>House Of Balloons</em> made a ton of best of lists and nominated for loads of awards at the end of the year and this was just a mixtape. Needless to say, dude made an impact. "What You Need" is a haunting track similar to a <a href="http://www.turntablelab.com/search?q=james+blake" target="_blank"><strong>James Blake</strong></a> ballad with dubstep undertones and "Loft Music" is so damn sexy I lost my underwear every listen. Double vinyl pressing with gatefold sleeve.
