Chaise Longue - wet lEG
“This week it's a band that Steve Rone at SnugZ got me hooked on - The Wet Leg - and their single "Chaise Longue". As the duo puts it, "We want to be goofy and a little bit rude". Anyone who smiles and laughs while performing their own songs gets a thumbs up from me.”
BOBBY LEHEW, CHIEF CONTENT OFFICER
21:05 by Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm
“ Mostly wordless songs hit my faves this year. 2021 was the year I realized wordless songs have more to say, even more than worded ones.”
Bre redmond, Customer Success MANAGER
ICY VIOLENCE by sAD NIGHT DYNAMITE
“Their songs are psychedelic and put me in a dreamy state. It's made it easier to cope with COVID and gets me looking forward to the future.”
Ashley Colautti, Senior Account Manager
All too well (10 min Version) by Taylor Swift
“ I've been a Swifty for a long time Red was one of my favorite albums now hearing her version is so impactful and moving.”

Mark Graham, President, and Chief Brand Officer
Idiot Prayer by Nick Cave Alone at Alexandra Palace
“This is the pandemic album produced by Nick Cave in the summer of 2020 that I listened to constantly in 2020/21. It's a beautiful album featuring Cave all alone on his piano in this massive theatre.”
