robertsona 07.01.23	My 67 year old friend remarked that the main melody of “everything’s alright” from Jesus Christ Superstar calms him down. I agree

ArsMoriendi 07.01.23	Oh if we're talking emergency line "Agoraphobia" is prob the winner for me Thanks for sharing your list, "Lazy Calm" is a great song
protokute 07.01.23	Been meaning to check Beta Band for a while since Zak rec'd The Aliens on the Slowdive thread
ArsMoriendi 07.01.23	Check their 3 EPs first, it's got their most essential songs, though I do like the 2 LPs I've heard from them too Also tag them indie rock please, it's okay for them to have a downtempo tag, but downtempo AND trip-hop but no indie rock makes no sense for them. Band is indie af
Shemson 07.01.23	Agnes Obel - Aventine and Philharmonics Both those albums are perfect
ConcubinaryCode 07.01.23	Bloodhail
Avagantamos 07.01.23	I think flashcore is nice when I’m feeling down in the dumps. La Peste’s most recent EP is a go-to
mkmusic1995 07.01.23	The most important album that was there for me in my darkest points was All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us by Architects (if it wasn't evident by my profile picture.) It's very comforting and cathartic to this day for me.
robertsona 07.01.23	How would you describe Pundt’s singing on “Agoraphobia”? It feels like a bit litmus test-y to me: becalmed, or dead inside?
ArsMoriendi 07.01.23	Resigned
robertsona 07.01.23	but you find the resignation comforting? I’m curious. It’s an interesting comfort song, I like the choice and also find the song comforting.
chemicalmarriage 07.01.23	16 got me through a bad trip
ArsMoriendi 07.01.23	I find comfort in relatability I suppose Like the artist matching my emotional resignation is comforting
robertsona 07.01.23	I was thinking about how “the luxury of dirt” by aix em klemm and “intershop 2” by Dettinger both calm me down despite their bevy of glitch effects—seems fair to say glitch is pretty inherently based on “rupture,” things being out of place. I talked about this in my Mewithoutyou piece for the top 10 staff tracks of all places, how sometimes comfort comes in an artist meeting us where we are, sometimes in them showing us the way…
Ryus 07.02.23	most of protokute's list [2] belle and sebastian - if you're feeling sinister
Havey 07.02.23	i recommend listening to frogs
ArsMoriendi 07.02.23	ribbit
robertsona 07.02.23	I almost don’t want to do research on the phenomenon, but I get the sense I actually do find frog sounds comforting
