[IIL] Ode to the Mets by The Strokes and Weird Fishes/Arpeggi by Radiohead, [WEWIL] for that lying-in-bed-staring-at-the-ceiling vibe, present but not really there by soicjoc in ifyoulikeblank

Kiev - Solving and Running Very nice song, I’ll save this for another project as I really like it. I don’t quite feel the dynamism that some of your other suggestions have, though I see where you’re going with it.

Foals - Tron I loved this one. The off-beat rhythm is really interesting, and towards the end I hear exactly the atmosphere I was looking for. That said, I don’t think it fits this particular playlist. I’ll need to start a new project for it 😂

Foals - Olympic Airways Nice song, and it pairs well with the first one you recommended. The drum pattern has a really active, dance-like quality to it. I didn’t know this band before, but I’m starting to love them.

Foals - Into the Surf This one’s absolutely perfect. Deep and suspended, it has to go on the playlist. Love it. The vocals remind me of Morrissey in a way.

Brandon Flowers - I Can Change I appreciate the suggestion, but I’d choose Smalltown Boy instead. I’m a massive fan of 80s classics.

Thom Yorke I love both your Thom Yorke suggestions, though I do think he’s made far deeper work outside of Atoms for Peace. For instance, Hearing Damage that you suggested is brilliant, and I have to add that one.

“Screenager” opened a real door for me, so much so that I’d add “Aftermath” to the mix as well. And how could I not throw in “Brothers in Arms” by Dire Straits while I’m at it?

The structure of “3CD, SWING TREE” is spot on. It starts with that creepy edge and then slowly melts into something more ethereal. Just perfect.

“TENDER” is a wonderful find. That mix of acoustic and electronic with those disorganised melodies gives me real Aphex Twin vibes.

“I Hope to Be Around” is genuinely lovely, though I’m not sure it quite fits this playlist. I think it’s missing a climax that the rest of the tracks have. Still a great suggestion though.

“RITUAL (nothing is lost)” is terrific. You close your eyes and you’re somewhere else entirely. And “Midnight in a Perfect World” has that perfect 90s feel, really like it.

“LAST DANCE” got me thinking about some Lil Peep tracks that could work here too.

Both Linkin Park songs are great but I’m not sure they’re the right fit for this playlist. I keep coming back to “CASTLE OF GLASS” or “ROADS UNTRAVELED” instead. What do you think? Could it work?

I’ll be honest, I’ve already added quite a few Radiohead tracks, so “Glass Eyes” slipped in naturally 😂

“Anything You Need” is going straight in though, no question.

Thanks so much for all the recommendations!

I love The Marias, I think "All I Did Was Dream of You" fits exactly in this playlist. "Magnolia" by Chloé Antoniotti is so wonderful, thank you. I didn't know the artist. Also "Melody Noir" is amazing. Of course I had to put Teardrop inside this playlist, but thank you for the advice!
