This week's pick is 'Sepulveda Basin' by Liily. Few tracks get the balance of heavy and mysterious right - and this is one of them. It's a poem for the undecided who are still moving. The two-liner 'Hoping the truth might follow / I close my eyes and pray for rain' alludes to a hunger for…
This song is full of story and urgency. You’re breathless, and yet oxygen never tasted so well. Everything is moving forward at the same time, and you are flying towards your future with the colors of your past pushing you to a better tomorrow.

This week's pick is 'Say It Ain't So' by Weezer.
This song has so much emotion. It confronts pain and fear, and feels so real - all the more because of the largely unfiltered vocals. You'll love it if you're a fan of that casual, nostalgic, full-of-story 90s rock - the kind that uplifts and…
