We are back! Just like that, another year in music has come and gone, which means it’s time for the fifth-ever FTL Annual Playlist!
I have a 10 month old child now, so no time for any extra preamble. You know why you’re here. Let’s get to the goods!
We are truly living through the golden age of sad music.
Ever since Bon Iver made crying in a cabin sexy again, young artists have been tripping over themselves to bare their hearts and spread the Big Sad™ to listeners worldwide. The last decade and a half has seen the woe-is-me musical movement pop up all over, with artists like Drake and Billie Eilish flexing their Feelings all the way to the top of the charts. But the biggest scene for saddies has always been the indie scene.
And no indie musician has been better at making people sadder than Julien Baker.
