Notes

Emma Harner got on my radar when she performed a cover of Manchester Orchestra’s The Gold and I was quite smitten by her finger-style technique and emotive vocals. 

yeemz followed soon after and it very interesting to come across a cellist singer-songwriter.

From here, I knew that the playlist I wanted to compile was a feature of short songs, another foray into the trend of bedroom musicians that seem to write shorter and shorter, as if each burst of emotion needn’t be dragged on, but felt in as full a capacity but also to to ignite and fade away almost instantaneously. I wonder if this is a result of the post-internet generation that experiences every fleeting trend, that despite the permanence of the Internet’s memory, the collective consciousness of the Internet is especially ephemeral, and somehow that has coloured our youthful perspective. We forget the things we cannot feel.
