Taylor Swift - 1989 (Taylor's Version)

Maybe try a Prius for your next travels ❤️

Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) feels like a set of unfinished demos that don’t fully capture the magic of the 2014 record but do just enough to be passable as a full release.

Society would collapse the day Sampha misses

Sampha follows up on his 2017 Mercury Prize-winning Process with his most intoxicating and stunning work yet on Lahai.

Quadeca - SCRAPYARD I

Hi matt! Being an avid fan of falling asleep, and having just made a list of albums I like falling asleep to, I got curious what other people like to fall asleep to (if anything). So if there's any album you like to put on when you're getting ready for sleep, I'll add it to a community list I'm making. Cheers!
