Samia continues to be underrated - her third album might be her best?

Bon Iver: "SABLE, fABLE"

May 1, 2025 Music Rec

#indie-rock

Bon Iver's still get the magic spark. Some of his most joyful songs to date - goes great with walks on sunny Spring days

My favorite songs are probably "Everything is Peaceful Love" and "Day One". Love how collaborative the album is and the production is as mesmerizing as ever.

Recommended for: Anyone who likes aphex twin and/or wants to test out some audiophile headphones. "Let Me" is probably my favorite song.
