okay admittedly a little bit more wacky than clairo, but their latest album has a lovely take on jazzy indie pop with progressive and surprising song structures. Check out the second track As Above So Below
floaty foggy little indie synthrock moment. like a lot of these the exception is the bridge changing progressions. wish the orchid tapes label was still active they have so many hits on there
such a pleasant modern take on a straight ahead vocal jazz ballad that doesn't feel overly twee or kitschy to me + the strings (cello?) complement the vocals so nicely too! if u wanna be a hipster about laufey (who i love) u can haul this out
their second album just came out last week and this shit rules. i'm always trying to find more music that dances on the edge between acoustic and electronic. this kinda sounds like if billie eilish, men i trust, and aphex twin were put in a blender?
get da NTS app or whatever radio station u fuck with and just put that on in the morning. ya your brain might want stimulation before u can get out of bed but it doesn’t need instagram reels level shit. Just some fresh music is sometimes all u need
separate your to do list into what does and doesn’t require a screen, and do those lists separately
means you aren’t constantly bouncing between a screen and the material world. Bonus points if your screenless list is completed without any music or podcasts or anything at all. You’re hiding your true power level by blocking all your thinking with consumption!!
posting a neoluddite rec on pifyi is basically reaction farming I’ve realised but I’m NOT that cynical I promise
