KIM'S PICKS
Raw Blue
ALBUM | Whirr
When your senses are heightened, there's nothing you can do but to take the world as it is. Mapapalapit ka na lang kapag tahimik, at mapapahiga na lang sa hampas ng gitara sa tenga mo. Samahan mo pa ng tindi ng tama ng araw sa balat mo. Ito ang ginawa ng album na 'to sa akin noong pinakinggan ko siya sa isang party. Sorry na lang sa mga dinamay ko rito. ffo: melting on the couch

Hindi mo ito maiintindihan hanggat hindi mo binababad ang sarili mo rito. Kaya eto, nagbababad ako ngayon.
AZE'S PICKS
For The Love Of You
ALBUM | Various Artists
Very lovely Lovers Rock covers compilation. Quite new to the name of the genre, but very familiar to the sound and the originals they played. My current go to for biking East and West Service Road. Got this recc from a Shet-Alt practice day, thanks Mei !
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
ALBUM | Phoenix
Revisited this classic kasi nalaman ko sila nga pala tumugtog nung 2024 France Olympic Closing Ceremony. Massive blast from the past, from countless hours in FIFA 13, playing football with my childhood friends, early teen stupidity, you name it all. Fun revisit, also a nice mixing peg. Moogs r kewl. also shoutout Gaby for having it on vinyl and letting me put this record on as my first ever IRL vinyl listen, will def remember that 4vr
SOF'S PICK
Essentials
ALBUM | Erika de Casier
summer is the perfect time to listen to essentials especially when it’s your last month being 19. i love music like this - it recenters me and dissolves all these false ideas i’ve internalized about my womanhood, as is the case for any 19-year-old girl growing her pixie cut out and learning to be more self-assured. sometimes all you need is a silky-smooth alternative r&b soundscape to sunbathe to
