This collection is about music as altered experience. Writhing melodies, circular arrangements, riffs that mine your senses; inculcating and leaving something in your subconscious for later.
Here’s the latest playlist

10 tracks and a one-line comment. Listen on Apple Music or Spotify.
“Part Cardiac,” Oceansize: Seismic riffs and dissociative lyricism
“After You Comes the Flood,” Mono: The sonic density of Steve Albini enshrines a neoclassical motif
“Savory,” Jawbox: An emerging touchstone for our project
“Calypso,” The Physics House Band: Nanobots create a lattice of orchestral-rock
“So He Begins to Lie,” Bloc Party: Characteristically angular though a distinctly weightier moment in their repertoire
“Slur,” The Malpractice: Sludge seeps into the grunge foundation of this grotesquely alluring piece
“Journey to the Plains,” *Shels: As much feeling captured in the spaces between accents as in the rest of the aching instrumentation
“You Without End,” Deafheaven: Transfiguration of metal into a George Martin epoch
“The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right), Smashing Pumpkins: A single riff of near seven-minute abandon
“Unending,” Lume: Imbues a devastating lethargy
