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 Philly based musician, producer and audio engineer Lucas Knapp.

As a substantial player in the vastness that is the indie music universe, Lucas has more than likely had a toe in the game on one of your favorite records from the past few years. Most recently, his work consisted of recording fool’s errand by Theadoore, recorded and mixed Caveman Wakes Up by Friendship and helped record and produce Eyes Like a Mirror by Carmen Perry (just to name a few from the past two months). Lucas has also worked with artists such as Hour, Lindsay Reamer, Izzy True, Nina Ryser, Spring Onion, Thank You Thank You, Florry, Joey Nebulous, Anne Malin and many more. You may have also seen Lucas on tour playing in bands Hour, Spring Onion and most recently with 2nd Grade.

About the playlist, Lucas shares;

I wanted to throw some light on songs from a lot of friends from different points in my life, and strangers too. I built the playlist on Bandcamp and bought everything if I didn’t own it already. The fidelities are all over the place song to song; feel is what matters. All these songs are important to me. I hope they become important for you too.
