Songs of the Week 92: December 18 – December 24

mesita-2#5. Mesita – Intimacy

Was introduced to Mesita last week, which was great news because I fell in love with a whole whack of his music. Intimacy is the latest release, which is a great introduction into his brand of hazy, psychedelic indie pop.


kida#4. Kida – Snakes

I find this track absolutely entrancing. There is something about the pulsing chorus that just completely sucks me in.


john-splithoff#3. John Splithoff – Sing To You

soundcloud.com/john-splithoff

Was having a bit of a rough morning earlier this week. I can’t remember what caused it, but I was not in a great mood. I was in the middle of something just adding to the pile of shit that was going on when this song came up on my HypeM playlist, and everything just seemed to melt away. I was instantly in a good mood. Nothing fancy going on here…just some easy-on-the-ears pop music that is made to sing along with.


mesita#2. Mesita – All Out In the Open

YEP. Double dosage of this week. I wasn’t joking when I said that Mesita blew my socks off. After giving a solid listen to all of his stuff that I could find, All Out In the Open was my favorite track. That guitar riff is what does it for me. When you hear it, you’ll know which one I’m talking about.


gigamesh#1. Promises Ltd. – Days of Lavender (Gigamesh Remix)

soundcloud.com/gigamesh // soundcloud.com/promisesltd

Somehow in the bazillion remixes that came out for Promises Ltd.’s Days of Lavender, I managed to miss out on the disco-infused edit curated by Gigamesh. It’s glorious.
