recommended for juhoon

it is a beautiful portrayal of love everywhere all around us. i feel like he would enjoy the mellow vibe since he doesn’t smile as often

betcover!!, 2025

recommended for martin

martin has said that he grew up listening to a lot of rock so I want to recommend him this album by betcover!! it's one of my favourite releases last year and has jazzy elements that i really enjoyed.

carrie arcos, 2020

recommended for all of cortis

it’s a really cool sci-fi thriller that blends reality and teenage life into mind-bending time travel elements. i think cortis would love a good teen sci-fi!!

edward yang, 2000

recommended for james

yiyi is a taiwanese classic that—dare i say—features one of the best existential dialogues of modern cinema. although it differs from the genre of movies james has mentioned thus far, i think it may resonate with him not only because he grew up in a taiwanese family, but also because the film unravels like a universal testament to human life. you’ll see what i mean when you watch it—i highly recommend it for coers too!!

jon avnet, 1992

recommended for coer

because it's a movie that everyone should see at least once.

content note: racism

alison's halo, 1995

recommended for martin

this album is very dreamy and atmospheric. it has a lot of reverb-y guitar sounds and distortions which reminds me a lot of slowdive and cocteu twins, which i feel like martin might really enjoy!

r.f. kuang, 2018

recommended for coer

“war doesn’t determine who’s right. war determines who remains.” this historical military fantasy offers a brilliant and raw portrayal of the horrors of war and the devastating impact of imperialism. it is a fantastic read featuring a deeply complex and compelling protagonist whose journey will completely grip you from start to finish.

content note: graphic depictions of war crimes, extreme violence, sexual violence, genocide

fishmans, 1996

recommended for coer

for the coers who like rock music, i want to share one of my favourite bands with you. this song is quite long and i recommend listening to this song while going on a walk, preferably after the sky has gone dark to really feel it!!!

ringo deathstarr, 2011

recommended for all of cortis

since cortis has mentioned and recommended quite a bit of shoegaze i want to recommend them one of my favourite albums from the genre. if i were to describe this album i would say its like a happy and brighter sounding shoegaze!

addison rae, 2025

recommended for coer

life is hard for all of us, and sometimes when things get heavy, all you can do is put your headphones on. this song reminds me of james, but i wanted to share it for everyone

masego & don toliver, 2021

recommended for all of cortis

don toliver feature! and this song suits all of cortis and i think they’ll like it

i wonder what it felt like to be in France back then, maybe it was just like this song; full of that warm and gentle sunshine.

kaveh akbar, 2024

recommended for all of cortis

it’s so much about art, identity, and figuring yourself out through everything you’ve picked up from the world around you. it explores grief, mortality, addiction, belonging, and cultural identity alongside poetry, pop culture, humor, and weirdness, and i think cortis could really connect with the idea of turning all those influences into something uniquely your own.

content note: substance addiction, suicide themes, parental loss

the marias, 2019

recommended for keonho

keonho was once listening to clairo and shelly while on live with seonghyeon. i feel he would also enjoy the marias’ music because they’re quite similar in a sense.

the sundays, 1990

recommended for juhoon

recommending a song from one of my favorite albums of all time to juhoon. being the old soul he is, the sundays’ music to me screams nostalgia and comfort.

jeff buckley, 1994

recommended for martin

jeff buckley’s music to me has always been the epitome of longing and yearning. i feel like martin’s taste in music gives very much hopeless romantic, and anything by jeff buckley seems to fit right in

steve lacy, 2020

recommended for james

i really love how james perceives life and how he has such a broad taste in everything, never limiting himself to specific things. he's always evolving and changing because that's part of life, and he understands that. this song portrays exactly how it's not fun to stay the same

trash panda, 2023

recommended for juhoon

this song reminds me of growing up, losing your spark, and eventually finding it again after a long while. sometimes, it’s okay to disconnect from the things you’re used to doing bcs it gives you the chance to explore new things in life. i think juhoon would love this as well; its soft, dreamy warmth feels like something that belongs to him.
