Every Wednesday, the ugly hug shares a playlist personally curated by an artist/band that we have been enjoying. This week we have a collection of songs put together by Nick Sullivan of the Brooklyn/Boston band, Joyer.

With the release of their new record Night Songs out this Friday, Joyer has spent a lot of time on the road. Just finishing up a leg of touring on the West Coast and a week at sxsw – while also preparing for a handful of album release shows in the next few weeks – the band has seen a lot of the country together.

In honor of the time spent in route, Nick curated a playlist of songs derived from their van’s growing CD collection. With a mix of celebrated rockers, charming deep cuts and demos, even some songs from their contemporary companions, this playlist is a reminiscence bump for a time filled with variety, uncertainty and comradery for a band doing what they love.
