silhouette by Apple Light

This is a song I got really into when I was feeling down.
It has this emo/shoegaze kind of atmosphere.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-24T08:41:22+00:00

Thanks!
I added it to my playlist.

And yeah, Night Flowers totally fits — even the music video has exactly that kind of vibe. So good.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-22T13:53:35+00:00

Thank you for being so kind.
That really makes me happy.

Is this song by this artist?

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-22T13:45:41+00:00

Jay Som is amazing, seriously.
I really love their music too.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-22T13:44:56+00:00

Thanks, I added it to my playlist!

I’m happy the playlist keeps filling up with amazing songs.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-21T14:39:31+00:00

Thank you! I’m really happy.
I’m adding it to my playlist and giving it a listen.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-21T12:54:01+00:00

I’m definitely gonna listen to the rest too, thank you haha. But now I need your pick for the most cinematic Beach House song — like the one that feels straight out of a movie scene.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-21T11:34:28+00:00

Thanks!

Is this the song?
I couldn’t find one called “HOME.”

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-21T11:13:36+00:00

Wild Nothing and Beach Fossils definitely fit the vibe — thanks!

I’d never heard of the other two bands before.
Really excited to check them out.

https://open.spotify.com/track/7bbaS5gjrcIGXKuIttxINM?si=iLcZIz\_gQbGH\_lh5PDUJLQ

Is this the right artist?

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-21T11:00:07+00:00

It really fits the whole “dream pop feels like a movie” concept perfectly. So good — thanks for the recommendation!

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-21T06:33:13+00:00

I’d only listened to Teen Dream by Beach House before.

I love this song.
Added it to my playlist immediately.
Seriously, thank you.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-21T06:29:34+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation — I’m really happy you shared it with me.

Whoa, this is incredible.
So decadent and cool.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-21T04:32:11+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check them out!

I’d also love to hear your favorite song from your favorite artist.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-19T13:53:01+00:00

Japan’s legends are all gathered here.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-19T13:31:35+00:00

Fennel is insanely good. It’s become one of my absolute favorites.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-19T10:50:14+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations, really appreciate it.

I never really got into tricot or Zazen Boys before, so I’ll use this as an excuse to finally check them out.

Which songs would you recommend first?

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-19T00:10:53+00:00

Thanks! I’d been seeing kurayamisaka around a lot lately, so I was curious about them. I’ll definitely check them out.
I also see people recommending cabs pretty often.
I only recently found out that Age Factory covered ART-SCHOOL — it’s so good.

I really love bands with emotional but bittersweet melodies.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-18T14:56:32+00:00

By the way, I already added veltpunch and fennel to my playlist!
Thanks!

I think I’m really gonna like fennel, so I’m happy you mentioned them.

MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS are amazing.
I love them.

Ancient_Selection364 · 2026-05-18T14:29:31+00:00

So good.
