House of Balloons is The Weeknd's 2011 debut mixtape, the release that introduced his nocturnal, woozy vision of heartbreak and hedonism and helped reshape modern R&B. Produced largely by Doc McKinney and Illangelo, it built an atmospheric sound from samples of Beach House, Cocteau Twins, and Siouxsie and the Banshees, anchored by "High for This," "What You Need," "The Morning," and "Wicked Games." This Decade Collectors Edition presents the album as a gatefold double LP with reinterpreted cover artwork by Daniel Arsham. Dim the lights, drop the needle and let it drift. A cornerstone for any alt-R&B shelf.
