After Laughter

Paramore ·2017

"Yeah, and this album is so funky, so clunky, and just brilliant from start to end really. My favorites are probably rose-colored boy or hard times, honestly it's so good."

All Over the World: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra

Electric Light Orchestra ·2005

Geography

Tom Misch ·2018

"Geography by Tom Misch is definitely a soundtrack to a summer. I think I've probably painted a lot of rooms to this and gone on walks and played frisbee to it. It is the perfect soundtrack to a summer day."
