I’ve never heard Explosions this subdued. Give this song a proper listen with some decent headphones, you can actually hear them holding back and it’s downright beautiful. This song is also extra special this year. I first heard it on the anniversary of my Dad’s passing, who left us doing something he absolutely loved in the wilderness respected more than most.

Angel Olsen dropped her best album yet this year and I could easily feature every song from the record, but “Never Be Mine” is definitely my favorite. If Dolly Parton, Sharon Van Etten, and Best Coast had a baby, she would sound like Angel Olsen on this track. So good.

One of the many standout tracks from Kishi Bashi’s latest. A bubbly, danceable track that will put a smile on anyone’s face. And it reminds me of my Honey Bunny 🙂
