holly jackson, 2019

recommended for coer

this is a really good crime book... i really enjoyed it and have re-read it several times... i think anyone who likes to read fiction that is crime based would enjoy this… a lot of you might already know about this book... it's got a good story line as well.

content note: violence and death, sexual violence, suicide and substance use

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.

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

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 :)

recommended for seonghyeon

i feel like seonghyeon would appreciate this album it has a very soft and airy vibe and great vocals. definitely one of my favourite artists i've discovered this year !

khaled hosseini, 2003

recommended for coer

it's a controversial release due to the extremely harsh themes however i feel it's important book that discovers and conveys the picture of a real afghanistan as a living place, before the coup, the soviet invasion, and above all, the taliban and the aftermath. whilst also displaying a warm depiction of the missed culture in afghanistan at the time

content note: sexual violence, war and abuse, suicide and self-harm

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

brockhampton, 2016

recommended for keonho

one of the songs keonho has recommended before is emmaus by andrew aged, and i think this song has around the same feel as emmaus (as well as the whole crown album by him).
it's also just a beautiful song about romance, longing, and relationship complications.

beach house, 2022

recommended for juhoon

this song is just calm as juhoon is and i think he would love it

yung lean, 2014

recommended for all of cortis

i think martin and seonghyeon would enjoy this song most because of its dreamy, nostalgic cloud-rap sound and melancholic feel. since yung lean was only 17 when he released it, the lyrics about loneliness, vulnerability, money, and escapism feel especially raw and honest.

miúcha & tom jobim, 1977

recommended for juhoon

this is a brazilian bossa nova song about being completely enchanted by someone you love. it’s soft, romantic, and poetic, which is why i feel like it fits jju’s vibe so well, especially since he likes calmer romantic songs like daniel caesar’s.

jikamarie, 2022

recommended for martin

reminded me of ‘lovers who hesitate’, in the melancholic yet lovestruck sense. and the lyrics are cute. #yearner.

title fight, 2015

recommended for all of cortis

hyperview is an alternative and indie rock album that also has a lot of shoegaze and post-punk influences. i think all of cortis would enjoy it.

charles bukowski, 1996

recommended for martin

since martin likes poetry and often writes his own i thought he would like this poem. it talks about the transition from youth to adulthood and the themes in it really resonate with cortis in my opinion. it's one of my favs for sure

muse, 2001

recommended for all of cortis

one of the less known songs in the album, but sooo worth it!!
won’t spoil much, but its pretty noisy.

fairuz, 1987

recommended for james

being one of the best singers of her time, and all time. i think james would really love her music.
this song is like a cool morning breeze which is exactly what james feels like.

martin would appreciate its rnb influence and vocals. a$ap rocky has an amazing feature. the song’s style fits my perception of martin.
