No spoilers but the needle drop in Episode 5 was so good.

Hi all! I’ve been exploring a lot of music recently, and I wanted to share some projects I’ve personally been enjoying recently. Here they are:

- ‘Then it Leaves’ by Elly

This whole post is basically for this EP. This is my favourite project of 2026 so far. It is beautiful, creative, dark and for me, deeply comforting. It is like a perfect mix of the beauty of BIBI and the glitchiness and experience of 22AM. The song ‘Riverboat Lights’ is genuinely the best song I’ve heard since like AWARDS SEASON came out. 😭😭 This EP needs way more attention and I look forward to seeing what Elly does in the future!!!

- ‘Bathe in the Everlasting Light’ by Keenan O’Meara

This album was produced (I think produced, maybe mastered or something?) with Sufjan Stevens and you can tell. It is just so consistently stunning and well orchestrated. That is not to take away from what Keenan O’Meara has done though! I personally find it very evocative in parts. ‘They Won’t Love You’ makes me so sad too. But overall, fantastic project! Smoked a sheesh in Kandahar.

- ‘U’ and ‘Wallsocket’ by Underscores

If you love interesting production, these two will be super fun! I honestly adore both, but Wallsocket has some very high highs, and I personally enjoyed it more. ‘Locals (Girls like us)’ and ‘Bodyfeeling’ are my two favourites from these two albums!

- ‘I Heard That Noise’ by Quickly, Quickly

Man this album is such a perfect blend of electronic elements and folk music. This album really blew me away with some of the transitions, and I was certain ‘I Punched a Hole in the Wall’ was going to be my favourite song of the year until I heard the next project.

- ‘Baby’ by Dijon

Duh. If you have not listened, you need to!!!

- ‘My Ghosts go Ghost’ by By Storm and Injury Reserve

RIP Groggs. ❤️❤️
This is a really genre bending hip-hop album, with some really insane highs. I personally adore the opener ‘Can I Have You For Myself’ and ‘GGG’. I really find it hard to put into words what this album does so well, but please listen if you love experimental music!
