Little Dragon released a new album today in the electronic genre. I have a friend who likes to cover Twice as a jazz piece. Twice is off their original self titled album in 2007.

I'm listening to 'Shades of Love: Korean Drama Soundtracks' from Grammophon

South Korean TV dramas are always accompanied by soaring, melancholic and sentimental music that are wonderful pieces by themselves. Fans of the drama series attach every track to the story and every character in the shows. If you're not a fan, the sweeping orchestrations might prove to be a surprise accompaniment to your work day.

I recently discovered Hirotaka Shirotsubaki’s 2020 album “Music for Artificial Island.” The track “Central Park” in particular, but the whole album is full of great drones and textures.

Sorry if this is a duplicate. But Djivan Gasparyan died a few weeks ago, and his album "I Will Not Be Sad In This World" is one of my go-to flow state inducers!

In case he hasn’t been posted yet - Tom Day from Melbourne, Australia is excellent (melodic ambience / cinematic vibe). Linking his Selected Works album, enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/album/0mm74TjzY1vTLlQP2I01ue?si=zCkTq_8yQCmcXpN64q9e0Q&dl_branch=1

Been on a binge of this guy from France, Mezerg. Worth a look see and to check out his use of a Theramin. Change your whole mindset. No lyrics.

little vocals, upbeat, ethereal and fun! Morita's music gives nice rhythm for fridays

Burning through albums from 1984 for a Twitter poll...Stop Making Sense still sounds fantastic! Kept the party going after seeing Talking Heads in Forest Hills on that tour.
