Again to the twenty first century (and from icon to icon). I’ve to think about listening to Lana Del Rey is among the closest methods to soberly recreate the expertise of this music’s titular drug. This one’s sluggish, often melancholic ethereality and visceral SoCal contaminated lyricism make for a pleasant tempo shift from Dylan’s electrical linear storytelling.
8. i hope ur depressing till ur useless by Nessa Barret
As an alternative of doubling down on Lana, I made a decision so as to add on this one-time earworm that has the sort of good poppy rage excellent for a stroll to class.
9. Trinity by Ludwig Göransson
It’s essay season, and right here’s one thing to edit to. You don’t have to consider singing alongside and it’s the sort of anxiously propulsive pay attention that makes you query whether or not you’re jittering or toe-tapping.
10. White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane
This can be a music eager for summer time: Summer time within the sense of psychedelics and afternoons holding fingers within the park and chilly however shortly melting frozen margaritas. It’s not a summer time I’ve ever particularly skilled, however annually it’s the one I’ll all the time think about and idealize.
11. The Grudge by Olivia Rodrigo
