The economic uncertainties brought by political change, the nastiest of all changes, pulsates fiercely through our minds. “At least we still have music” will the pollyanna-minded ones proclaim. Others will scoff and smirk, thinking that music amounts to a hill of beans in the larger political spectrum.

I can’t offer any political solutions. I can offer you a playlist. From the new leaves turned by Nice as Fuck and Minor Victories, to the classic beauty of Broadcast and Electrelane, I sincerely hope that this playlist brings something sweet for the bitter sea we are swimming through.
