‘sunburn’ – spill tab

another rock climbing playlist banger. doing some research i discovered that solomonophonic helped produced this track, which totally makes sense because he also worked with remi wolf and the influences are very clear here. this got a lot of play, as i said, while climbing, but also while i did dishes. iykyk i guess

‘high hopes‘ – sweet pill

channeling the version of jade that used to listen to lots of paramore, four year strong, something corporate, etc etc.

i don’t listen to a ton of music like this anymore but this track really hit for me, and i think it’s largely because of the singer’s voice: raw, strained, beautiful.

‘moon canyon park‘ – pearl & the oysters

let’s run the list back.

• harps
• ethereal, resonant vocals
• the song title has the word ‘moon’ in it
• the breakdown is like smth out of a story about tiny rodents living in a tree

you see what i’m getting at, right?

‘care for you‘ – the marías

the music video for this song features the titular maría in a waterfall-adjacent lagoon surrounded by many beautiful women and holding an albino snake while she sings. and it’s awesome.

even if i hadn’t seen the video and you told me that’s what was happening, i would instantly believe you because that’s also what the song sounds like.

this song is like a dream, like a lullaby; and as one descends into the haze of sleep, what can be heard is that comforting voice echoing faintly above: ‘i know, i know, i know….’

‘the Perfect Idiot‘ – Fievel Is Glaque

i’ve never seen anyone talk about this band before, and really i only found them because their other album Flaming Swords features… well, two flaming swords on the album art, and that really speaks to me.

if you like jazz fusion then you will likely love what’s going on here, i know i certainly do.
