Something light and folky?
Bit of Bonnie Prince Billy or James Yorkston perhaps
when you are so hungover that you actually become the hangover
I’m currently living through this scenario and this morning I am trying:- Bill Callahan Sufjan Big Thief Sigur Ros
Hoping at least one of those will provide some relief…
maybe some nice jazz, give some Ornette Coleman a go. Graceland by Paul Simon is surprisingly good hangover material. Maybe some of the early/more melodic Autechre albums too
love everyone you’ve listed but productivity would go down a lot if I was sleep deprived and started listening to that lot
albums:
BPB: Master and Everyone (I See a Darkness is better but too much existential dread for a hangover)
JY: Just Beyond the River (his best album by a mile and I won’t hear any different)
Oh man, I need something much less mellow in these situations. Usually something a bit more electronic and dance-ish like Daphni, Todd Terje or Sophie.
I agree you need something rhythmic that will keep you up. But Sophie would kill me right now
Ended up listening to ‘One Fine Morning’ four times in a row while staring blankly at my laptop. Think it’s done the trick tbh.
Yeah, I’m maybe just thinking Immaterial on repeat tbf
Salad Days by Mac Demarco is a proper hungover hazy summer album for me. We went through a big phase of listening to Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs as well around about the same time.
J Dilla - Donuts
This is like a kind of medicine
According to last.fm it’s my most played album, so that’s a lot of hangovers!
Nick Drake; Pink Moon.
I find Further by Flying Saucer Attack to fit this bill sometimes.
Be Here Now works as a hangover record imo, something to do with the music being as rotten as you feel
You Are Free - Cat Power S/T - Velvet Underground (skipping Murder Mystery) Veedon Fleece - Van Morrison On The Beach - Neil Young
Actually, this is just list some of your favourite albums time again isn’t it? All good for a hangover though.
Works for just about any occasion. See also, D’Angelo’s Voodoo. Turn that hangover into a warm bath of sound.
Aphex Twin - Drukqs
Stars of the Lid and Their Refinement of the Decline is my fallback album for these stiuations. The same applies for parenthood induced sleep deprivation at work.
