nothing else matters
apocalyptica, 1998
recommended for martin
apocalyptica is a cello quartet that reinterprets rock songs, and this is their version of metallica’s “nothing else matters.” the climax near the end reminds me of the feeling i get from martin’s singing, especially the chorus of “nan chun,” where there’s an emotion i can’t quite put into words.
home sick
rad museum, 2024
recommended for martin
for me, this album carries so many emotions about love, especially the quiet pain that can exist alongside affection. each track explores a different side of it, like vulnerability, emotional wounds, separation, and romantic comfort, while still feeling connected as a whole.

the crux deluxe
djo, 2025
recommended for keonho
it has the same vibe as dominic fike, (specifically his sunburn and don't forget about me, demos albums). since keonho's a big dominic fan, the vibe of this djo album reminded me of him.

sonder, 2019
recommended for james
since james really likes brent faiyaz, i'm pretty sure he would love sonder since brent is the lead vocalist.
content note: explicit language, sexual content
casablanca
bertie higgins, 1982
recommended for all of cortis
it carries a wistful, timeless atmosphere, with a warm and beautifully nostalgic melody. there’s something almost cinematic about the way it unfolds, and i thought its gentle charm might be something they’d really appreciate.
absolution
muse, 2003
recommended for keonho
since keonho loves radiohead, i am sure he would enjoy muse, especially this album ;))

phoebe bridgers, 2020

i just think that the instrumental at the and of this song sounds like seonghyeon. idk how to explain.

inner spectrum
ace spectrum, 1974
recommended for juhoon
i see that juhoon listens to a lot of oldies! the 70s is one of my favourite eras. this album is very melodious with some calming / relaxed instrumentals which seems to more of his vibe! he might recognize some of the songs because they've been sampled in recent years.
what a devastating turn of events
rachel chinouriri, 2024
recommended for keonho
a really lovely bedroom pop album by one of my favorite artists that my best friend introduced me to. i feel like it really fits keonho’s vibe, with beautiful lyricism and instrumentals similar to songs he’s recommended before. my favorite song is “pocket” :)
content note: suicide and self-harm, mental health themes, relationship trauma
hell hath no fury
clipse, 2006
recommended for martin
classic hip hop album by one of my favourite duos. the beats are absolutely disgusting but i expect nothing less from the neptunes. the rapping is obviously top tier from push and malice. have fun :)

anais cardot, 2026

snow patrol, 2006
recommended for martin
alt-rock :) i think martin would love the way the song captures how it feels to need emotional connection and clarity in a fading relationship through the alt-rock elements
content note: emotional distress, dark themes, escapism
