I’d been wanting to make an ambient / peaceful listening playlist for some time now, but never had the right inspiration to strike me. Then all of the sudden some fantastic records came out this year from artists like Isabel Pine and Elori Saxl, and I found my stride. Below you’ll find tracks that ideally transport you to other realms; ones that you either remember in dreams, or from distant memories potentially fabricated over the course of time. Either way, I hope it’s not a total passive listening experience, and that you’ll gain some new appreciation of the beauty of slowness.
