Transpondence 6: More Music 'Cause I've Been Listening To A Lot
Hello hello! I’m back again with more music suggestions! So without further ado, let’s jump right on into it!
Snail’s House
Keitaro Ujiie, also known as Snail’s House, is a Japanese electronic musician who makes INCREDIBLE instrumentals!!! And a lot of his music videos have super cute and whimsical animations!
“Twinklestar” is an out-of-this-world track! Pun intended!

SPiCYSOL
SPiCYSOL is a band from Japan that makes a lot of uplifting music that mixes different genres. The members' stage names are Kenny, Akun, Kazuma, and Pete.
Here’s “#Goodday.” When I've felt depressed about being trans, listening to this song cheered me up. It's not about being trans, but it is about being true to yourself and keeping your chin up, which is a big part of what it takes to live sustainably as a trans person.

And here’s “New Day.” It’s about looking toward the horizon and the happiness that lies there.

I love Mitski so much!!! She has such soul-stirring, emotionally complex music.
“Fireworks” is about becoming emotionally numbed.

Roland Faunte
Roland Faunte’s music is very introspective and delves into their mental health a lot. It’s very melancholy, and might even strike you as sad, but I like it a lot and I can relate to a lot of their messages. If you’ve had any struggles with mental health, you might find that it resonates with you.
