I’M BACK, BABY. Did you miss me? Eid Mubarak to all—this Ramadan had me running on divine melatonin. Ya boy was tired.

This week’s set was a sleeper in the best way—dreamy, cinematic, and built to soundtrack your life. First seven songs? All from soundtracks. That’s right, it’s an OST takeover:

  • Evanescence – “Afterlife”: straight off the Devil May Cry anime

  • Kamasi Washington – “Vortex”: from Lazarus, MAPPA + Adult Swim + Shinichirō Watanabe magic

  • Replaced – “Void”: a future cult-classic video game OST in the making

  • ODESZA x Theodore Shapiro – “Entering Lumon”: Severance remix from the show you all watch (except me)

  • Flying Lotus – “MOUTH BLOOD”: from the ASH OST, directed/produced/scored by FlyLo himself

  • TEKE::TEKE – “Meikyu”: featured in the new Assassin’s Creed Shadows

  • Jack Black – “I Feel Alive”: from the Minecraft movie—yes, really

This week’s Song of the Week? Tortoise with “Oganesson” Chicago post-rock royalty. They’re back, and I’m hype like it’s the first time I heard TNT in my college dorm. If you’ve never seen them live, that’s a life experience waiting to happen.

Album of the Week goes to Σtella “Adagio”. A chill, lush, multilingual springtime dream. This album’s meant to be played at golden hour with a Negroni in hand and your lover staring off into the middle distance like you’re both extras in a Wes Anderson scene.

Apologies for the late write-up—life’s been moving fast.
