Rec | THE INNOCENCE MISSION

🕊️

The Innocence Mission is a band that I started listening to this summer. If you enjoy The Sundays or Mazzy Star/Hope Sandoval, I think you’d love this band. Their lyrics are, to me, extremely uplifting and positive. As someone who tends to wallow, sometimes I need my music to lift me up. The Innocence Mission makes me feel really hopeful. My favorite songs by them are Beautiful Change, Spinning, and Lakes of Canada.

The japanese house

Good at Falling and In the End It Always Does have quickly become comfort albums for me. The Japanese House’s music simultaneously makes me extremely hopeful and extremely existential. The perfect amount of sad to be, in my opinion. I can dance and cry at the same time which is my ideal dance party scenario. Amber’s lyrics are incredibly intelligent and I find myself wondering how she comes up with it all. Every listen to each song is like the the first time I’ve heard it. I can’t get enough!!! My favorite song by them is Follow My Girl, I listen to it like 5 times a day at least.

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - neutral milk hotel

I know this album cover is imprinted into the corneas of many already. but I’m listening to this ~8 yrs after I first found it, which sort of marked the start of my own self-discovery w music (along with, who else, but velvet underground). and since they are both so huge, I’ve had a hard time listening to them as earnestly in years since. of course relationships with music change, but I think I became embarrassed by the earnestness of this album & its internet overexposure. but it is sincere and beautiful (+ a little freaky and smutty) and it is very special to come back to every now and then. it turns on a certain part of my soul I can’t usually access when I come to it at the right moment. full of love and oneness w humanity, time transcendent “let us lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we can see”

Future Islands - People Who Aren’t There Anymore

In Evening Air is a personal all-time classic, but aside from a few singles here and there nothing from these guys has caught me… until now! I always described them as “Tom Waits fronting a synthpop band,” which is still true, but there’s a little more emphasis on the synthpop now. “The Thief” might be the best pop song I’ve heard in years.
