2025 was the year I rekindled my love for spaced-out new wave / dream pop music, and I'm over the moon. Been missing that hopeful nostalgia in my life, and these weeks have been fruitful. A refreshing side quest beyond the genres that have shaped my listening lately. Funny how diving into one small niche always seems to unlock a whole universe of incredible music.
Today, we daydream with this brand new slowed and reverbed version of Eszter Max's "Cosmic". Inspired by a recollection of intimate night swims, the Australian artist makes music that's a perfect soundtrack to those lone night drives in the mountains.
