Yaeji – “Guap” [2017]

Literally the coolest person you’ve ever met. I wasn’t hip on Yaeji’s self-titled EP released earlier this year, but I recently revisited it and I haven’t been able to stop listening. Picture me: a large, awkward, bumbling nerd walking down … Continue reading

Boat Club – “Always Away” [2007]

The existence of anchoring responsibilities and earthly desires are immediately filtered out of existence upon sight of a scenic lagoon at sunset. Why does Scandinavia always make the best tropical pop music? Something about the icy climate must make the … Continue reading

This song has one of the all-time best choruses. Couldn’t care about the lyrics on this one, to be honest. It’s like this infectious song was made for a commercial or something or short film shown to elementary schoolers. I can … Continue reading
