mataderos
saramalacara, 2026
recommended for martin
i think martin might enjoy this album by saramalacara, an argentine artist from mataderos, the buenos aires neighborhood the album is named after. it’s a very personal project about growing up in argentina, mixing argentine rap and rage with experimental electronic production, and i thought martin might find the underground sounds, different influences, and strong sense of identity really interesting.

sophia
ximena sariñana, 2021
recommended for seonghyeon
back in may, seonghyeon said in an interview: "i think i feel more comfortable figuring things out on my own. instead of asking someone for help, i usually find a way to solve it myself, one way or another." well, seonghyeon, maybe you can find a song to keep you company; there's a line in "sophia" that says: "the love of my life is me, because i'll always be with myself and i'll take care of myself." i think that fits him really well. :)
estrechez de corazón
los prisioneros, 1990
recommended for all of cortis
i saw someone recommend “tren al sur,” so i wanted to share my own little take with “estrechez de corazón” from the same album. to me, it captures the emotional distance of two people completely missing each other, paired with a rock sound and melody full of frustration and longing for a more understanding, less selfish love.

hanya untuk-mu
ten2five, 2007
recommended for keonho
i really love this indonesian song, it’s so good. for some reason, it always makes me think of keonho, so i thought he might like it too
to let a good thing die
bruno major, 2020
recommended for all of cortis
i feel like this album falls into the cracks of emotions the boys may like. the songs are very nostalgic and old soul, made a bit modern. it’s a bittersweet album that they might relate to, especially the song ‘i’ll sleep when i’m older' with how much hard work and passion they put into their craft.
aegen ~ sugisarishi kaze to tomo ni
malice mizer, 1998
recommended for keonho
i feel like keonho would enjoy an old rock ballad. this is the second version of the song, but the first one is just as good, only more emo. the title references the aegean sea, water's special to him so i think he'd appreciate the song.
clics moderno
charly garcía, 1983
recommended for coer
an argentine rock album set during the country's transition from its last military dictatorship to democracy. it explores themes such as repression, fear, freedom, and even loneliness. "clics modernos" shows how art can become a powerful way of reflecting on politics and society
content note: political repression, social violence
pasilyo
sunkissed lola, 2022
recommended for coer
i think y’all would really like this song even if you don’t speak the language, because you can still feel the emotion behind it so deeply. the meaning is beautiful too, but i honestly think it hits differently before you even understand the lyrics.
slow dance
clairo, 2024
recommended for juhoon
this song is so sweet and calming to me. it reminds me of juhoon whenever i listen to it!
you’re too young
rocketship, 2005
recommended for all of cortis
i love this song so much and think its meaning would really resonate with cortis. it’s about not letting someone else’s idea of how you should live stop you from enjoying your youth the way you want to.

recommended for martin
while listening to my band playlist during my drive from work, i thought to myself that martin would enjoy this alt rock masterpiece.
police scanner
chanel beads, 2023
recommended for all of cortis
it has this dreamy, melancholic sound, it feels like being overwhelmed by the world and trying to make sense of everything. like late night overthinking turned into music. i think they would really like it.
tornado
jónsi, 2010
recommended for seonghyeon
the lyrics talk about going through really heavy stormy feelings but the music itself is so powerful and uplifting by the end... it gives me a feeling of hope and peace like starting fresh after the clouds clear. i hope it can give him that exact same feeling after a hard day.
