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 Maine-based artist Jesse Guerin of the project jes.

With sincere delivery and eager expression, the music put out under jes is intuitive to the environment in which it was derived from. Playing to the limitless opportunities given by open spaces, Guerin leads with faith towards whatever may lie ahead, allowing guitars to interact, building layers of individual voicings until that open space holds a brand-new meaning.

About the playlist, Jesse shared;

“songs that feel like a sunset, maybe a sunrise too. songs that feel like my hands are in the soil. a playlist for gardening. a playlist for the dusky dewy evenings in the field.”
