Love that you and Kevin are doing this series. I knew Kevin's picks already, so it was yours I spent some/a little/not enough time with. I probably heard Cola in some Spotify autoplay at some point last year as they sound like a band blended by my favorite alt-rock sounds of the first two decades of this century. But Fuubutsushi is blowing my mind. It's another blend of some of my favorite sounds but ends up sounding wholly its own. And Celeste is comfort food, she's a warm blanket or maybe a onesie with napping puppies. Way more soulful than Norah Jones, who I find to be as dull as a doorknob.

Glad you love Fuubutsushi! I've been trying to get more people to listen to them. Just keep digging into their catalogue--they have four or five albums and they're all insanely consistent. Them and Nala Sinephro are some of the best chill, ambient jazz that I've found and it just hits whenever I'm having a lazy day.

I just randomly discovered Cola through Spotify, and that album has been sticking with me for the last few months. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's very infectious. Same with Celeste. Just good vibes.
