Time to Pretend
MGMT
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'd Rather Dance With You
Kings of Convenience
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.
Teardrop
Massive Attack
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…
Such Great Heights
The Postal Service
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!
Mind Mischief
Tame Impala
Listening to Tame Impala always brings me back to my time in university. My friends and I would put it on while studying or working together. I haven't stopped listening to it since then!
Eple
Röyksopp
You might recognise this one as the welcome song when installing Mac OS X 10.3 Panther, back when this was a thing! For sure one of the many Röyksopp songs that will appear in this list.
Our Mutual Friend
The Divine Comedy
Can't remember exactly what I was doing when this song first popped in my recommendations, but it caught my attention — listening to it is almost like watching a soap opera.
Elements
Lemon Jelly
If you are a fan of long songs that keep building on top of themselves, you're in for a ride.
