These songs are comforting to me, in their sounds, textures, and messages. It is a compilation that I listen to when I am sad, frustrated, and seeking warmth or reassurance. Townes Van Zandt comforts me when he sings “close your eyes, I’ll be here in the morning.” The Books sings in a rhythmic repetition “take time” and other indie or experimental voices and tunes follow, reminding me that all will be okay.
