Spring Is HereBill Evans
Like weaving pale light, the delicate tones spun from the piano by American pianist Bill Evans sink deep into the heart.
Recorded in New York in December 1959 and included on the album “Portrait in Jazz,” this piece beautifully captures both the joy of spring’s arrival and the fragile feelings that, for some reason, keep one from embracing that joy straightforwardly.
The conversational interplay of Scott LaFaro’s bass and Paul Motian’s drums renders loneliness and the pain of heartbreak with even greater depth.
It’s a track to savor in a quiet room at the turn of the seasons, when spring’s light and shadow intersect.
A gem of a performance recommended for those who wish to touch the subtleties of life.
Eple (Edit)Röyksopp
Speaking of Röyksopp, they’re a familiar name—especially to anyone with a soft spot for the electronica scene of the 2000s.
The Norwegian duo’s sound blends a distinctly Nordic, cool-textured electronica-to-ambient feel with synth-pop elements reminiscent of Depeche Mode and New Order.
The track introduced here is a single from their acclaimed 2001 album Melody A.
M.
, and stands as one of their signature early numbers.
Its colorful electronic palette and striking electric piano tones make it irresistibly catchy.
If you’re curious, this is the perfect first song to start with.
New FictionLittle Dragon
A four-piece Swedish band fronted by Japanese-Swedish vocalist Yukimi Nagano.
Their activities extend far beyond their home country; with Grammy nominations and collaborations with numerous major artists, they’ve achieved worldwide popularity and recognition.
This track is included on their album “New Me, Same Us,” released in March 2020, by a group that now reigns as one of Sweden’s leading bands.
Yukimi’s instantly recognizable, mysteriously alluring voice floats through the space, while a genre-defying soundscape built with live instruments invites listeners into a dreamlike world.
Be sure to check out the lyrics—preferably with a translated version—to explore the message woven into the song.
Midnight In A Perfect WorldDj Shadow
A pioneering figure in the genres known as trip-hop and abstract hip-hop—and a renowned hardcore record collector—DJ Shadow has continued to exert a profound influence on later musicians through his turntable- and sampler-driven methods.
This track appears on his first solo album, the historic masterpiece Endtroducing released in 1996.
Melancholy-tinged vocal samples, a hard-hitting drum beat, and weighty strings coalesce in perfect balance, forming a piece of music that is both deeply melancholic and exquisitely beautiful.
An immortal classic that never fades with time, offering fresh discoveries every time you listen.
The SeaMorcheeba
A UK band featuring the lone female vocalist Skye Edwards, with the peculiar, distinctive name “Morcheeba.” Their 1996 debut album, Who Can You Trust?, was hailed alongside the likes of Portishead, with their live-band trip-hop sound earning high praise.
From the 2000s onward, they would go on to develop a sound that transcended the boundaries of trip-hop, but here I’ll introduce the opening track from their second album, Big Calm, released in 1998.
Centered on the airy, floating trip-hop characteristic of their early period, the deftly arranged ensemble of live instruments carries a touch of psychedelia, while the languid vocals draw the listener into another world.
Les NuitsNightmares on Wax
A solo project by George Evelyn—also known by his stage name DJ E.
A.
S.
E.
—a UK native now based in Ibiza.
As one of Warp Records’ longest-standing artists, he’s an indispensable figure in the history of electronic music since the ’90s.
This track showcases the full appeal of Nightmares on Wax, characterized by a smoky downtempo/trip-hop sound.
It’s included on the third album Carboot Soul, released in 1999, so be sure to check it out.
Orange MugWONK
When we say BGM, it’s not just about rhythmic instrumental tracks—you also want mellow tunes with a relaxed mood that make you move gently, right? If you’re looking for music like that, I recommend WONK’s “Orange Mug.” It uses a boom-bap-style beat reminiscent of overseas R&B and ’90s hip-hop, and just listening to it makes you want to move your body.
It’s dance music you’ll want to play at night.
I think the intentionally low-budget feel of the music video actually creates a stylish vibe.
