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 Brooklyn-based Or Best Offer
Days short of two years ago, Or Best Offer shared the project’s first official record. Composed of seven tracks that stretch, bleed and bend into one holistic experience, Center is a testament to the Brooklyn-based project’s expansive curiosity and experimental knack for texture. Center can be cold, provoked, and industrial at times, and warm and delicate at others; though these juxtapositions waver in the contrast they invite. Sometimes it feels abrupt, and sometimes the line between their differences blurs so thin you wonder if it truly exists at all. It is a beautiful and unsettling experience; eliciting a kind of familiar existential discomfort that truly can only be articulated and purged through nonverbal mediums.
About the playlist, Or Best Offer shared;
songs i find true & beautiful that to me embody mid winter feverishness, heavily featuring music I’m most excited about coming out of the northeast right now.
You can listen to Center below.
