We played this ambient banjo (!?) album on loop while my partner Katie was giving birth. It really helped her to stay calm in all the intensity!

This album of lofi, homemade cosy music has been on heavy rotation as we enjoy the peaceful cocoon stage of bringing a new life into the world. It’s full of warm acoustic instruments, but some delightfully goofy synth sounds in the mix too!

I’m a big fan of Bibio’s warbly electronic/acoustic music. This album is a cosy nest to eat analogue worms in.

Benny Sings’ new soul/pop album City Pop has been on heavy rotation in my kitchen. Here’s a video for Everything I Know.

As the sun warms your skin you can actually become an actual plant, with the help of this magical plant inspired synth music.

I am really digging this bonkers jazzy funky EP by Jacob Mann Big Band, and Greatest Hits Volume 2 is just as good. This video of his made me laugh too!

This cozy album by Skinshape has been on heavy rotation the past couple of weeks. It’s especially good with bangers and mash imo.
