Playlist: Your Peculiar Glow – Light Bends Around You

Posted on November 6, 2025 by Very Warm

I’ve been on a tear the last three years of making fall-themed playlists and I wanted to keep the streak alive. Sure this isn’t an overwhelmingly FALL vibe, but rather it’s something cozy. It was inspired by the Tasha song … Continue reading →

Recommended Albums: September 2025

Posted on October 20, 2025 by Very Warm

Only somewhat late and to give myself at least a little credit, September 2025 moderately exploded with high quality albums. This summer had some good stuff, but my personal life left me feeling dazed and zoomed out. By September I … Continue reading →

Posted on August 20, 2025 by Very Warm

Recommended Albums: June 2025

Posted on August 18, 2025 by Very Warm

Remember June? My July was pretty hellish, so unfortunately the blog suffered. Don’t fear though, because I found a good truckload of tunes in the middle month of the year. Some of these records are looking like locks for my … Continue reading →

Playlist: Melting Portal Vision – Pliable Reality

Posted on August 11, 2025 by Very Warm

The third installment of my summer’s synth pop playlists, Melting Portal Vision leans into squelchy, rubbery and especially 80s-indebted synth textures more than the others in the series. It aims to be a dizzying, blissful sink into warm waters. Near … Continue reading →

This is the second installment in my summer 2025 synth pop playlist series, where I mine every single morsel of musical nostalgia I’ve accumulated for the summers of ~2008 to 2015. Plundering a rich field of fools gold chillwave, 80s-inspired … Continue reading →
