Song of the Day
Each day in 2022, I chose a song. Sometimes it chose me.
Shadow
Chromatics
An orphan single. Too good to be on an LP because when it fades out, you just want to play it again. After their 2021 break-up, SHADOW lives in the Roadhouse, forever linked with S3 Laura Palmer.
Loveliest of Trees
Josephine Wiggs
It's a track I hope to license and use in my next film. She played bass for The Breeders and her original compositions are beautiful, complex and cinematic.
Nothing
Adrian Borland (Lovefield)
Track is from Adrian’s failed Lovefield project Neon and Stone. Excavated and released posthumously, Adrian's ghost returns twenty-one years later to remind us. ♥️
Kitty Winn
Advance Base
A story song that haunts me. Not sure if the protagonist is growing bored or if he's been saved by love. Perhaps both.
Gold Sky
The Avalanches (feat. Kurt Vile)
Love Kurt’s spoken word approach. How he says ‘Alright’. After hearing it, Toni Di Blasi of the Avalanches said it was the best thing he'd ever heard. I had a similar reaction.
Asleep Among Endives
Ichiko Aoba
Spirit-lifting lullaby, anachronistic in the best way. Imagining a countryside in Kyoto.
