Probably my favourite song from this album, and part of my heavy rotation back in university.
August 2025
Muse has some great songs, and I particularly like this one. Maybe it is the piano (it usually is).
This song has it all: it is groovy, catchy, has a cool music video and, on top of everything else, it is also educational!
I love the synths and vocals in this song, which makes me want to listen to it over and over. I can tell because it showed up on my Spotify Wrapped more times than I can remember.
Romy's voice never fails to enchant me.
This song transports me back to some very specific moments in my life, when my friends and I would watch cover bands playing indie songs in questionable venues while drinking equally questionable wine. Good memories, for sure.
This is not the original version of this song. The original by Robert Palmer is good too, but this version by Todd Terje scratches my brain quite nicely. I think it is the echoes of the synth.
A great song for when you can't let these robots defeat you.
This song has such a contagious 80s energy.
Kalouv has a special place in my heart. They're a post-rock band from my hometown, Recife. I first met them when I had just moved back there, and I friend took me to see them without giving me any context of what we were about to watch. I definitely recommend checking out their work.
It is physically impossible to not want to dance to this beat.
This song is a great example of how samples can be used basically as an instrument. This album got in my heavy rotation back when I was in uni, and I still come back to it from time to time.
JB is half of Air. This song is a great opener for his solo album H+, which I recommend checking out.
I like songs that go all out on instruments, and this one brings strings, trumpet, sleigh bells, tambourine, and more!
I grew up watching detective shows and, one day after school, I was watching Cold Case when this song played near the end of the episode. It really caught my attention and I went to look it up online instantly.
This song appears in two of my favourite TV series of all times: Mr. Robot and Severance.
Don't you just love a song with overlapping time signatures?
This is the kind of music that sounds old and new at the same time — which is how many of my favourite songs also sound.
When I first heard this song, I thought it sounded a lot like Kings of Convenience. Turns out Erlend Øye is indeed half of that duo, and I just hadn't yet heard his work under his solo brand.
This song evokes a feeling of nostalgia. Like many other Beach House tracks, this one is part of my chill music rotation.
This is one of those tracks I can listen to on repeat. The soothing melody and how nicely it incorporates its sample stood out to me straight away.
I love the fact that Keane plays mostly with a piano as the lead instrument, instead of a guitar. Their tracks have this characteristic sound, almost like a signature, and this one is no exception.
It is impossible to not want to dance to these synths. I got to see Depeche Mode playing live last year and this song was part of the encore — incredible energy!
This is one of my go-to summer songs. I can never get tired of that bass line and these vocals.
There is so much I enjoy about this song that it is hard to pick something to talk about. I'll go today with its use of stereo channels throughout the whole track, which is very satisfying, specially when listening with headphones.
I love the vocals in this song. I keep trying to remember when I first heard it, with no success.
When I got recommended this song for the first time in 2014, I immediately got transported to over 10 years in the past, to a time when I was as a kid in a car and this song played in the radio. I remember wanting to find it again, but I couldn't back then. It was a good reminder of how music transcends time and space.
The build up at the start hooked me up instantly.
I remember being a teen watching the this song's music video and being amazed by its psychedelic visuals. It was as if the video editor decided to use every single effect available in their editing software.
I was organising a weekend-long hackathon back in 2015. At around 2 AM, I went for a nap and accidentally left this album playing on repeat while I slept. These songs were imprinted in my brain for weeks after that.
The heart-like beat of this song fills the room whenever it is played. It's known as the opening theme of House. I guess I've never put these two pieces of information together until just now…
I was a kid wandering on the Internet when I opened a website that had this song as its background music (that was a thing back then). I have absolutely no recollection of what the website was about, but the song stuck in my head. That riff is so satisfying!
