"Touch" - Shura (website // twitter // soundcloud)

The scene: Crime show procedural! second season, when interdepartment sexual tension is coming to a head, but neither parties does anything about it and instead they both go on unsatisfying dates and lie about what a great time they had the next day.

Makes me feel like: Sky Ferreira's "Everything's Embarrassing"

"School Night" - Thomston (website // soundcloud)

The scene: High school romcom, between two teachers! Our newest teacher, a graduate of TFA with an overinflated sense of experience, arrives at a new school and immediately is confronted with their hubris. After a hard, lonely start, they befriend a few other faculty members, especially the junior English teacher, who was the youngest until our protag. They end up chaperoning a school dance together, and after cleaning up they have a ~moment~ and they break into the school pool and have one of those wild n crazy rule breaking after hours nights.

"Cracks (Flux Pavilion)" - Freestylers (Flux Pavilion website // soundcloud // twitter)

The scene: Dark superhero movie! earlier, our superhero came up against his diabolical nemesis, who shot him full of crazy energy made from an ultra rare element, which has really messed with his powers. In this scene, he is trying to fight off some standard underlings, but can't control his powers anymore! His anger only makes it worse, until he spirals out of control, causing an egregious amount of damage, almost killing his Law Enforcement Friends, and letting the bad guys get away. Oh no, superhero!!!

Makes me feel like: oddly, "Crave You (Adventure Club Remix)"

"A Handsome Stranger Called Death" - FOE (website // soundcloud // twitter)

The scene: Girl gang movie! opening credits/scene, one girl loiters around a truck stop looking lost and cold and scared. A trucker takes pity on her and offers to drive her to his next stop, but surprise! he is a creepy scumbag and surprise! she is neither lost nor scared (definitely a little cold, though), she is here to kick his ass and steal his wares. Then she'll fence the goods with her fellow lady-gang.

"You're in Love" - Betty Who (website // soundcloud // twitter)

"A Million Years" - Fride Sundemo (website // soundcloud // twitter)

The scene: Veteran city-centric crime procedural, a scotch-soaked going away party for the main protag's best friend, who is leaving the city for good. "I'm not made for this place," he says. "I'm not moving at the same pace anymore." Nodding in understanding, the main protag leans out over the edge of the rooftop, drink in hand, and gazes over the city. A beatific smile crosses their face because this city, this dirty filthy violent angry beautiful city, they love this stupid fucking city.

Makes me feel like: Kate Boy's take on any Tove Lo song

"Black Synagogue" - Angel Haze (website // soundcloud // twitter)

Welcome to our un-regular segment, “Weed Headphones,” for songs that are especially enhanced in part by weed, and in most part by a great pair of headphones.

The beat on this track is so spacious and lush you'll sink into your comfy headphones. Angel Haze's flow is also sick as heck y'all

"The Birds Part 1" - The Weeknd (website // soundcloud // twitter)

The scene: Dark small town drama! This is a place where politics is just as violent as any other crime and despite best efforts, its people always get sucked back in. But times are changing, power is splintering, and the youngest son of the bar owner is poised to make a play and maybe get out forever, if he can just get the rest of his brothers in line.

The scene: Suburban sitcom! Mid-season finale, after the roughest emotional season yet for our hapless protags (probably set around the holidays), our group decides to go "off the grid" for a week, culminating with a weekend in the mountains. Predictably, no one succeeds in staying off the grid, which ends with everyone fucked up in the mountain cabin, leaning on each other and hating the world.
