Ten Thousand Favorite Songs, v. 56

Helen Stratton - A book of myths (1915) New York




-takes my brain ~ 0.25 seconds to recognize that opening and be happy.



--another great sea breeze of an opening synth riff, carried off with pomp and lightness, which I'm realizing is something I really value--I want the song to be important to the singer, but I don't want the track to drop a thousand anvils to make that point.



---Less Thirsty Sade



----really refreshing companion to Robyn.  love how much space there.  after growing up in the age of ultra-compression, it is still refreshing to here spacious pop, room to breathe



-----the genre monkeys call it luxury pop as if sophistication necessitates wealth

A Book of Myths aren't they fucking all?  Ben is -5 vulnerable to primitive art nouveau.
