UCF's Mixed Mode Displays Unrivaled Artistry & Gorgeous Harmonies In New Video For "Winter Trees"
"Holy moly, we are witnessing a true evolution in a cappella music!
Over the past year or two, we've constantly stressed how the prototypical a cappella performance is becoming more and more a thing of the past. Groups are trading in semi-circled formations and covers of 90s and early 2000s Pop, for jaw-dropping, elaborate arrangements and staging. And this brand new video of The Staves' "Winter Trees" performed by a cappella group Mixed Mode from the University of Central Florida couldn't be a better representation of where the future of vocal music is headed."

"Choosing BOCA this year was easier than ever, as so many songs immediately rose to the level of professional album that the discussion was more often one of deciding between two exemplary recordings of the same song, which is a great problem to have. Don’t miss a rare for BOCA live track..."
"These aren’t just great a cappella compilation albums; they are great albums, period — and ones you’re going to return to time and again."

Mixed Mode Takes You On A Fantastical Synth-Pop Journey With Their Magnetic Performance Of "Technicolour Beat"
"These are more than covers...they're re-imaginings.
We cannot stress enough how much contemporary a cappella has evolved well pass your typical song covers or open-mic night offerings. No, groups are offering so much more to the vocal arts and music community-at-large with their stylish iterations of today's music."
