Its called ’2 days in June’. I am day dreaming again, about a cozy little place in the countryside, not too far from the city, a small cheesy room, a tiny bed…we don’t need a larger one just because we are tied up together real close. Everything around you slows down, fades away, and the only thing existing is what I sense and feel from you, your body, and what I see deep in your eyes, where your pain and fear disappears, and the demons that usually attack from within are being abandoned helpless. This is one day in June, and the 2nd one starts the morning after, with the leftovers of the magic, taste ans smells of the first. Justin D’Onofrio AKA Grandpa was a lion has just released ‘2 days in June’, a 2 gorgeous acoustic tracks EP, available now for free download. Needless to say we just love it…listen to ‘Texas Forever’, the first track off this EP.

Certain artists and tracks I have reviewed in the past few months have touched me in a different way and stay with me for a long while ( It doesn’t mean others dont). I have decided to make this fall compilation for those of you who slept on those tracks or never heard them. This mix will be available for streaming only here (Lofiles) and on Soundcloud.

“Grandpa Was a Lion” is the moniker for lo-fi dream pop artist Justin D’Onofrio. We were just searching for some info about Erik David Hidde who has sent us the previous track we loved so much and discovered a small treasure; It turns out he is running a little label ‘Housewarming records’ that has released this brilliant lofi project from Justin titled The ‘Whalestoe tapes’. Listen to the record opener, this would be a proper appetizer for you to run over and download the album at their Bandcamp.
