enya, 1991
recommended for martin
since martin also likes dreamier sounds like grimes' genesis, i think he'll also really enjoy the dreamy atmosphere of this song by enya!
daemons of the shadow realm
masahiro ando, 2026
recommended for james
i wanted to recommend this dark fantasy anime because i heard james enjoys anime too! it follows a teenage boy who discovers creatures called daemons and gets pulled into a dangerous supernatural adventure while searching for answers about his twin sister.

we bought a zoo
cameron crowe, 2011
recommended for all of cortis
this is a movie i return to when life feels overwhelming because it reminds me to slow down and appreciate everyday moments. it proves that a movie doesn’t need to be grand to be meaningful, and i think its relatable themes would especially resonate with all of the boys!
content note: grief and loss, explicit language, animal endangerment
summer bummer
lana del rey, 2017
recommended for martin

Odo (踊)
ado, 2022
recommended for james
it's a very energetic and stylish song so i think it fits james vibe. also the name of the song (踊) literally means "dance" so another detail why i think it fits him. overall i just think james would appreciate ado's voice and artistry a lot! also he might really like the mv too cuz it's pretty cool!

vince staples, 2026
recommended for all of cortis
it’s got the hip hop crossover rock vibes which tracks with what cortis is experimenting these days - would be very interested to see they try this kind of genre with a more focus on the rap

ciepło / zimno
happysad, 2012
recommended for all of cortis
this album is a polish alternative rock masterpiece with incredible pacing and atmosphere, blending delicate acoustic moments with massive, gritty guitars. its themes of burnout, longing, and staying grounded through difficult times, paired with ambient guitar riffs and raw, honest vocals, make it a deeply vulnerable listening experience.
content warning: depression, mental health crises
internet girl
blession, 2026
recommended for all of cortis
everything about this song is just perfect, and it definitely deserves more recognition! it blends indie rock and r&b beautifully, with strong frank ocean vibes that i think all the boys would love. it perfectly captures feelings of yearning, nostalgia, and youth.

this is such a beautifully produced album. it’s colorful, funky and sleek, and it always puts me in a better mood.
bad moon rising
sonic youth, 1985
recommended for all of cortis
there are so many sonic youth songs and albums i’d love to share with cortis, although they might already be familiar with their music! i’m curious what they think of a band that’s been around for so long but is still popular today, and which songs they’d like most.
solo
future, 2017
recommended for all of cortis
this is one of my favorite future songs because of its chill vibe and emotional feel. the way he talks about loneliness and relationships makes it personal, and the beat and lyrics work so well together. it’s a song you appreciate more with every listen, and i think the boys would really like the vibe!

eat, sleep, wake (nothing but you)
bombay bicycle club, 2019
recommended for all of cortis
released to mark bbc’s comeback after a 5-year hiatus, i love how the lyrics and hypnotic, yearning melody reflect how the members kept thinking about each other during their break. it captures their longing to create music together again even while apart, which i think the boys could relate to.
all about lily chou-chou
shunji iwai, 2001
recommended for all of cortis
i know most of cortis have probably already watched it since it’s such a popular movie, but i still wanted to recommend it! not for the disturbing parts, but for how the characters find comfort through lily chou chou. it lowkey reminds me of coers and how we’ve found a community through an artist.
content note: violence, sexual violence, suicide
時間 (jikan)
betcover!!, 2021
recommended for all of cortis
the band blends jazz-rock, indie rock, great storytelling and it’s so good. i think they’d really like the overall vibe and the experimental sound that comes with it.
the way you love me
karyn white, 1988
recommended for martin
i just know martin is an enjoyer of late 90s r&b so this is absolutely perfect for him!
