ROADBURN: Essential Sounds playlist

A little bit of pop.
A little bit of drone.
A little noisy soundtrack
for the endtimes we call home.

A little bit of comfort.
A little bit of dread.
Music for the sleepless,
music for the dead.

A little bit of honey,
a little bit of rust.
A little bit of wonder,
a little bit of dust.

A little bit of velvet,
a little bit of teeth.
Some songs to pull you under,
Some songs to wake the beast.

A little sweet, a little heat,
a little sore, a little roar.
A little bit of everything,
then still a little more.

The Roadburn: Essential Sounds playlist (which you can also find on Apple Music) is renewed every three weeks with a different curator each time. This is my fourth time curating. I’ve saved the previous three I’ve done here, here and here, if you’re curious. Enjoy!
