oscuro éxtasis
wos, 2021
recommended for martin
i feel like martin would love this versatile album for its deep, raw lyrics and dark, sinister sound. it explores euphoria, anxiety, vulnerability and the pressure of public exposure while reflecting the artist’s connection to the reality of his country.

tokyo godfathers
satoshi kon, 2003
recommended for james
since you're a cinephile who also loves anime, this movie is a masterpiece! the story is hilarious, sad and heart-warming all at the same time. <3

a light passes through us.
adrian watkins, 2025
recommended for all of cortis
this ep is amazing yet so underrated. it’s a calming listen for when you need a break from stressful situations, and his other music is definitely worth checking out too!
scott pilgrim vs. the world
edgar wright, 2010
recommended for james
it’s a hilarious comedy with a talented cast and themes of music, gaming and romance, so i’m sure james would enjoy it. the editing is also really unique and fun, and i could see him drawing inspiration from it.
content note: suggestive dialogue, moderate language, mild substance use
bad reputation
joan jett, 1980
recommended for all of cortis
when you color outside the lines, you’re bound to face reactions from people unfamiliar with your vision. cortis has always lived up to their name, and i don’t think they’d yield to banal suggestions no matter the clamor. this song captures a theme i’d want them to live by.
dead poets society
tom schulman, 1989
recommended for all of cortis
it embodies the importance and significant values of friendship and the struggle of doing what you love.
content note: suicide, drug use, emotional abuse
fuerza natural
gustavo cerati, 2009
recommended for martin
cerati was an argentine artist and the vocalist of soda stereo. his music blends rock, folk, trip-hop and electronic sounds with poetic lyrics. since martin likes tame impala and oasis, i think he’d enjoy both his solo work and soda stereo. this final album is especially meaningful to me <3
content note: drug references
triple baka
lamaze-p, 2008
recommended for juhoon
since he did a mix of mosi mosi, i guess he'd enjoy some classic vocaloid songs as well
上线了 gone gold
lexie liu , 2021
recommended for james
gone gold is a genre-blending ep that combines baroque pop, rnb, edm, electronic sounds, etc. i really think james would like this one!
she hangs brightly
mazzy star, 1990
recommended for james
my favorite album from mazzy star. dreamy alt rock rec for james. i could see him enjoying this if he likes the smashing pumpkins :)
content note: suicide imagery, self-harm themes, references to death
midnight memories
one direction, 2013
recommended for all of cortis
they might enjoy it because the genre is pop-rock and i knew they really loved rock music (source: trust me bro)
what to do
jackboys, 2019
recommended for martin
i’ve noticed a lot of martin’s rap music taste is similar to mine! the boys have shared their love for don toliver as well. i really love this song, and the whole album.
content note: strong language, substance abuse, mature themes
i might
saam sultan, 2025
recommended for martin
if martin likes clams casino’s style, he’d probably appreciate the atmospheric, dreamy production and how its unique textures and use of space feel different from typical underground rap :))
content note: strong language, sexual content, drug references
mika’s laundry
matt champion, 2024
recommended for martin
this is the kind of album i imagine martin releasing for his solo debut. its unique, refreshing sound, experimental arrangements, vocals and ad-libs all feel like something he’d do as an artist.
content note: strong language, mature themes, relationship struggles, emotional distress
