    Bear in Heaven / Ultimate Satisfaction

    Pitchfork:

    Elsewhere, as its title indicates, “Ultimate Satisfaction” is an IMAX-wide ode to what starts out as a simple thought, then turns bodily— the refrain of “coming down!” charts the sensation spreading like a spasm

    Love how Devendra Banhart switches from English to Spanish so effortlessly.

    Mew / Sometimes Life Isn’t Easy

    Hold my arms back when they beat me.

    Sever my limbs and deceive me.
    Sometimes life isn’t easy.

    The Antlers / Kettering

    The haunting falsettos, the slow quiet piano build-up, the climatic crashing drum beats. Oh, this could be my favourite song of the year.

    The Antlers / Bear

    The Antlers’ Hospice is working up to the top of my list for the year. From the comments on SongMeanings: “The idea in Hospice is that sometimes love is not enough and that despite love, people can be unable to help each other - in fact, they can do enormous damage to one another.” Powerful.
