SUNGAZE// The Holiness of Suffering: On The Art of Shoegazing, Sad Girl Spring, and the Soundtrack of Becoming
Sad Girl Spring isn’t a trend— it’s a sacred rite regardless your gender or age or religion. Sungaze provides the soundtrack to becoming, one bone-deep ache at a time.

SIDE B: Years apart. One album. Infinite chemistry. Post Animal’s homecoming era is more than a reunion—it’s a rebirth.

CULLI. //: HOW_TO_LIVE_FOREVER_: A Song That Feels Like Teenage Time Travel
Culi.’s HOW_TO_LIVE_FOREVER_ isn’t just a song — it’s a three-minute time machine for anyone who’s ever soundtracked their life with MySpace bulletins, AIM away messages, and burned CD mixes.
POST ANIMAL // LAST GOODBYE: A Song for the Ones Who Never Got to Say It

POST ANIMAL // LAST GOODBYE: A Song for the Ones Who Never Got to Say It

DJO // THE CRUX: Flying or Free Fall
SIDE B: “Going from Gap Tooth Smile straight into Golden Line is a diabolical choice and I’ll be sending my therapy invoice to you personally, Mr. Keery.”
