In the depts of a northern winter, the dim lights flicker like an old lantern. This week’s mix tape is a collection of songs that pay homage to the transgressions we humans commit. The A side is all revolver-spinning, bank-robbing anthems for malicious schemes and sinister pipe dreams. Side B is the confessional. It focuses on the aftermath of the evil deeds. If the torment of The Geto Boys and Joy Division is any indication, the penance we force on ourselves may be our eventual undoing. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? McGarvey knows.
