Staff Pix 3/6: Daylist

Smooth-brained mood waiting at airport terminal for very early or very late flights

For that ultimate liminal space where fluorescent light sterilizes the eyes and the utter monotony of each minute passes, seemingly slower than the last, sending the mind turning in its concentric purgatory like a hamster on its wheel. — Christian Jones

Cold midday, libertarian, jeans-on naptime 

Folk, indie, and rock all suited for a very tired Thursday nap. Works best when you still have unfinished work to do. — Mario Sierra

slow soft fragile cold-but-also-warm early morning for overthinking small mammals

Still dark outside. You’re up enough for coffee, but too tired for a meal. The pastel glow of your night light illuminates your bathroom—hibernation time is over, and all your dreams are catching up. — Julia Schramm

candescent pining shoegaze surge evening vibes 

A mix of 80s rock, 90s shoegaze, and digital beats = a night spent shimmering, slightly yearning, and listening to music. — Heather Thorn

Late summer yearning desert roadtrip at dusk

Folk-esque tracks oriented around the freedom of the open road. All about sun, summer, and place. — Sophie Parrish

Glitchy love letter sterling silver jelly bean bowl 

You’re eating jelly beans out of a beautifully crafted silver bowl and writing a sweet valentine. The bowl is vintage but the instrumentals are fresh. — Lauren Williams

Hardcore introspective existential noisy brooding late night

Don’t get all emo on me now!! Just a little something for Neon Genesis Evangelion fans – my own personal soundtrack for it, if you will. — Diego Gonzalez

Poser post-thrash drop tuning dirty bedsheets noise complaint evening

The kind of metal that makes you want to chainsmoke cigarettes and start an argument with a guy who has a mullet and a Ford F-150. — Mimi Newman

Lovely morbid mystical underground brunch late night time natural disaster

Eating pancakes with too much syrup on a sailboat in the sunshine. — Lucca Swain
