Heartsink by Blood Red Shoes.

(Northern) Africa awaits. Not quite the best “ready to travel song,” but it’ll suffice.

Infinite Snow by Monolake

The song oozes with cold tension. Also, it looks just like the cover outside my window.

Now That I Miss Her by Elefant

It was late the other night, and nostalgia seemed like a good idea. A few minutes with Way Back Web lead me to a blog of mine from 2002/2003. Even back then, I was suggesting music. So here’s a song from an album I recommended back in July 2003. I had totally forgotten about this band and didn’t even have the music anymore. I enjoy it after all this time, though it is hard to determine if I enjoy it because of the nostalgia or because of the actual music.

Tiny Spiders by the Soft Moon

This coming to you thanks to Fauxpop. It’s an intense, pounding goth song. What could be better?

Futile Devices by Sufjan Stevens

There are longer songs from this album, but I think this one captures the dour vibe of this album quite well. Some truly lovely words in these two minutes. The album also has cathartic moments, particularly at the end. Worth a listen. 

King Night by Salem
