Van Morrison - Astral Weeks (1968)
Weightless and otherworldly, Astral Weeks is a transcendental experience. Van Morrison weaves stream-of-consciousness lyricism through a tapestry of acoustic folk, chamber strings, and fluid jazz improvisation creating a body of work that is light on the ears and mind.
Mac Demarco – This Old Dog (2017)
This Old Dog is a tender, lo-fi soundscape rendered with a kind of faded warmth that offers a subtle comfort. Across the album, Mac DeMarco trades in his signature jangle for gentle synths, mellow guitar lines, and softly layered textures that feel worn-in and nostalgic. His vocals are hushed, intimate, and more reflective than performative. It’s a record best suited to unhurried days.
Dijon - Absolutely (2021)
Absolutely unfolds like an intimate, late-night studio session—unguarded, improvisational, and beautifully textured. Fusing elements of soul, folk, and experimental R&B, this album is colored with emotionally charged vocals, and feels like a warm companion.
Charlotte Day Wilson – ALPHA (2021)
On ALPHA, Charlotte Day Wilson’s rich vocals glide over production that blends modern R&B, soul, and ambient textures. This album is truly designed for intimate listening.
Men I Trust – Untourable Album (2021)
Written during a time when live shows were paused, Untourable Album leans fully into introspection. Men I Trust’s signature dreamy basslines and whispery vocals float across tracks that feel like an ambient-pop haze
