My New Crush

Moving back to the UK has made me face a handful of things that have made me quite unsettled lately, such as finding a job, settling back in to life at home and finding some sort of closure for the end of my year abroad. What I really needed was some music that I could completely chill to, so I put my ipod on shuffle many times trying to find the perfect chill music, but rock or trance or hip hop songs would keep coming on and ruining this for me.

Then I happened to be flicking through Twitter a few days ago, and, thanks to one of Jonah Hill's tweets, I found the perfect music. The perfect song in fact.

 Beach House - Myth

I love the hazy, sensual feel of the music. This genre of music is called 'dream pop', named so for its ethereal moods and sounds. It really is so chilled. I'm going to research more 'dream pop' artists and build up the perfect chill playlist. That's exactly what I need right now! I'll be sure to buy this album and stick it on my ipod in the next few days, too. Thanks, Jonah.
