CCL’s Fantasy Music Moods

Some of my favorite music transports me to a place that feels both fantastical, tactile, beautiful and deeply strange— the way music can build a world in your mind is second to none.

Most often, these feelings and scenes are justifiably unexplainable, but some tracks have sparked particular images that I can’t separate them from and return to over and over. They make me laugh, cry, and I love to indulge them further whenever I hear them.

1. Second Hand Satellites - Orbit 1.3

"Witch's coy wand flirtation at the candle-lit ritual"

2. Loif - Intimak

"Walzing at The Frog Gala"

3. Andy Stott - Faith in Strangers

"Levitating through the sky, watching all of your most precious memories flicker before your eyes, just out of reach"

4. Sully - 5ives

"Intergalactic sparring match between rival Samurai turns into a make-out session "

5. Mn25 - Anta Doma

"Driving a levitating dune-buggy through a planet’s psychedelic caves full of molten stalactites"

5. Levon Vincent - Man or Mistress

"Kaleidoscopic Felines perform a crazed synchronised dance on a rollercoaster, onlookers join the contagion."
