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 Eli Raymer of the Asheville-based project Good Trauma.

Along with playing in other bands such as Powder Horns, Tongues of Fire, Idle County and Trust Blinks, Good Trauma is Raymer’s place to be fully enveloped in his own little world. Releasing his latest album In Succession last year, where he embraced more broken folk structures, Raymer’s writing is where tension and intuition link arms and sincerity and distrust break the hold, beautifully capturing that triumphant feeling of making it through another rough day while still looking forward to whatever is next.

About the playlist, Raymer shares;

Here’s a playlist I curated for you! I tried to capture my daily listening perspective from morning to night, Breakfast to the bar, sensible to foolish.
