Leith Ross is a great one- such sweet songs, like you (on my arm), and we’ll never have sex! so good!! a classic- like real people do, by hozier! amoeba is one of my fav clairo songs, her production is light and jazzy and definitely up that happy but gentle alley. For a speed round:
-la lune by billie martin
-more like you by orla gartland
-means something by lizzy mcalpine
-i know you by faye webster
-the bug collector by hathey hendrix
-teeth marks by S.G goodman
-you, me, lonely by FIZZ
-persimmon by the army, the navy
-serotonin by angie mcmahon
-real estate by adam melchor
-some kind of control by ruby gill and i’m sure there’s more!i tried to stick with songs that felt happier/felt like a small animal would be happy to listen to (maybe not lyrically,, just vibes wise) let me know if you want more!! hope this helps a little p.s. i sooo recommend listening to more of all of these artists if you get the chance too- they’re some of my absolute favs ! :)
so many contenders. off the top of my head to add to all the great suggestions already here: Hard to Find, The National; Billions, Caroline Polachek; Dagger, Slowdive; Foreground, Grizzly Bear; Two Slow Dancers, Mitski; Tomorrow Never Knows, The Beatles; Formation, Beyoncé; Ragtime, Neko Case. but. but. this is the pinnacle. i dream of pogoing to this on a dancefloor with friends one day. saw them live when i was eighteen and it felt like a rave had begun when the opening beat kicked in. soon — and mbv — are peerless.
what you waiting for - gwen stefani, on god just so important to me. drowning in your own tears is the kind of canonical archetype the moors a culture, like holding your fathers skull. rest of the videos from this album are also fire galen pehrsons videos for devandra banhart are death grips both beautiful street spirit - radiohead. i love you jonathan glazer, im just like you if you were instead an american girl
