If you haven't heard about her already, please allow this rec to be your formal introduction to this Canadian hidden gem.
Nemah Hasan (aka Nemahsis) is a Palestinian-Canadian singer-songwriter from Milton, Ontario who is creating some beautifully poignant music that goes beyond your standard catchy alt-pop. The thought put into everything from her music videos to the actual lyricism of her songs has so many layers of meaning that it's impossible not to rewatch and relisten to her work to fully experience all those levels of subtext.
Her latest album, Verbathim, releases September 13th and I'm genuinely excited to hear what she's been working on.
In the meantime, if you'd like to get an amuse-bouche of her music, give a listen to:
stick of gum
i wanna be your right hand coloured concrete you wore it better
This gal is legit so underrated. I hope you enjoy her music as much as I have :)

PC Music prodigy Namasenda deserves all the flowers in the world. Her electronic exploration on 2023ās āAmbrosiaā EP is transcendental and 2021ās āUnlimited Ammoā LP is a shelled-out banger! Take this as a universial sign to dip your feet into some new candy-colored synths. Thank me later.

gorgeous ambient electronica by egyptian kweeen Nadah El Shazly,, found this a couple of weeks ago via One Little Independent Records (same label bjork is on),, gave it a brief listenāthought it was interesting but was lowkey just browsing the roster,, then last week i was working on my alt/indie musicāvideo series and had decided on doing an InFocus: Cairo edition, so i reached out to an artist who i follow on instagram from cairo and asked her to send me stuff from people in her scene,, she sent me sooo much good shit but she also sent nadahās profile which was crazy because i didnt kno she was egyptian until after the fact//had to run this back n it slaps so much harder with context. fucking brilliant compositions on this through and through,, love the droney intermissionsāthe vocals are soo beautiful too,, good stuff

Formally known as Joronavirus on TikTok (now spaceruins), I feel some of yāall remember her tiktoks in 2020 that were like āa netflix originalā or āA24 presentsā. However sheās also a musician from the Bay Area, and I just feel that sheās criminally underrated. Virgo, Social Rules and Ghost Man are my top 3 faves.
She took her music down on Spotifyā¹ļø but she still has them on her SoundCloud so if u like alternative rock sounds then I recommend taking a listen!

an idealistic, yet highly inefficient form of face washing from a bygone era.

I adore finding a random video from like 2005 and reading through the comments the way a historian would examine an old manuscript from the 1700s. Are these people still active YouTube users? Or are they forgotten accounts? What did @jjlwis mean by "awww im gonna miss rob too!!!" ? Who even is Rob?? Anthropology in the digital age... so many questions... it's fascinating.
The important thing for me is not to add new comments. I feel like I'm disturbing an old archeological dig site and my sticky modern commentary will make the video crumble away into oblivion. More importantly, I don't want the algorithm to suggest the video to a bunch of people who will spam the comments sectionā major yuck š¤¢

š«with social media being this pervasive entity that has weeded its way into our daily routines for the past 20ish years (plus a global pandemic that really solidified those habits), many young adults today have spent a large amount of their lives living online. it has become the new norm and iām not gonna pretend iām above any of this because itās so easy to fall into it (i am literally writing this rec on my phone whilst itās a perfectly sunny day that i should probably go out to enjoy).
with that being said, in the larger scheme of life, being in your 20s is still in a weird way the beginning stages of your life. itās a period to try new things, make mistakes, learn from them and develop an identity thatās independent from the environment and people who raised you. though you can learn to do some of those things online, they donāt hold a candle to actually experiencing those things for yourself in real life.
all in all, the best way to not sleep thru your 20s is to prioritize in-person experiences that allow you to get a better understanding of yourself and your values. whether that be getting your first tattoo, moving to a new city or country, exploring your personal style or taking up hobbies you couldnāt or wouldāve never done as a kid, this is an important formative time to venture out and get a sense of who you truly are.
