Love songs for the apocalypse

Driven by despair but buoyed by common cause, the breezy songs of Nightblooms tackle heavy subjects like climate change, our shared modern anxieties, and the grief of living through end times. Reading our isolated lyrics might be a real bummer, but the music is pretty fun. Hopefully our equal parts honey-and-vinegar approach leaves you with a taste of optimism. This is happy music for sad times; dark tunes that shine brightly; love songs for the apocalypse.

RIYL: Wilco, Weyes Blood, George Harrison, Andy Shauf, Kevin Morby, Elliott Smith
