Songs for the October sun and for keeping busy with little jobs and little hopes.
Frank Ocean - Self Control
Ok, I'm late on the ball here, but yes, Frank Ocean's album is truly gorgeous once you give it your full attention. Fleeting, fragmentary, conversational, and then, suddenly, blooming like an indian summer. Around 3:18 the sun breaks through with full power.Matias Aguayo - Ay Ay Ay
The slowest song of its eponymous album shuffles and chugs along in sighs, whizzes and tropical bird imitations. The perfect tempo for my current mood. Carefully starting up my engine again and keeping it going, and going, and losing myself...
Chance the Rapper ft. Ty Dolla Sign, Anderson .Paak, BJ the Chicago Kid, Raury - Blessings
A song of sincere and fantastic aspirations.
Call me Mr Mufasa, I had to master stampedes
The Beach Boys - Our Prayer
OK, the list took a bit of a religious turn here. Sometimes even agnostics must feel their spirits rise.
Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man - Funny Time of Year
The sun sinks at the end of the list. The temperature drops. The world slows to a standstill. It's a funny time of year. And then that wobbly bass solo summons the wind and the rain and the frost and the autumn storms and the night. The loud, rumbling night.
