My Spotify Playlists

Indie-alt drift, Tame Impala, The Strokes, d4vd, Wallows, The Neighbourhood. Dreamy and unhurried with an undercurrent of unease.

Quiet acoustic devastation, heavy on Haley Joelle, Laufey, Liana Flores. Closes with The Script's Breakeven, in case you needed the killing blow.

House music :3, synth-driven, neon-lit, the kind of set that hits hardest at 2am.

My most personal playlist, music as therapy, an attempt to consolidate the last few years of my life into a single tracklist. Mitski's Washing Machine Heart, Sufjan's Mystery of Love, Lord Huron, sombr, Phoebe Bridgers.

For the person you'd spend your last hours with, Hozier, Cigarettes After Sex, Florence + The Machine, Beach House. Sweeping end-of-the-world ballads.

A 636-track time machine to 2000s and 2010s pop, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake. Pure dance-pop nostalgia.

Freaky ah playlist, Artemas, Nic Dean, Snow Strippers, Chase Atlantic, Isabel LaRosa. After-hours, low-light, sharper than it looks.

Breakcore and glitchcore, strxwberrymilk, kiyosumi, hkmori. Restless, lacerating, genuinely chaotic.

Yearning songs about wanting too much, Imogen Heap's Headlock, Magdalena Bay slowed, The Orion Experience, Joji, Artemas. Loop until it hurts.

Hyperpop collection, Moe Shop on heavy rotation, plus Aests, dark cat, Trifect. Sweet, glitchy, way too caffeinated.

Sleep ambience, instrumental drift, slowed-and-reverbed cuts, glass beach, Aphex Twin's QKThr, Ichiko Aoba. For drifting off.

Final-stand ambience, boss-fight builds, KENTENSHI, Toby Fox's Finale, slowed remixes. For staring down the inevitable.

Ambience built around five words, ascent, discovery, wonder, comfort, positivity. Slowed instrumentals and quiet, hopeful builds.
