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 Durham-based project Little Chair.

With sincerity smearing the colors, movement procured with off-tempo rhythms and guitars doodling outside the lines, Little Chair are not held to the parameters of a single page, but rather become visionaries for what they see their own world is capable of being. Releasing their latest EP Ladybug Cat last February, members Claire, Charlotte, Lilian, and Jack proudly display their scratch marks accumulated from growing pains and youthful quarrels with a brief, yet undeniably sincere package of off-centered melodies and loose expectations. These short songs become a type of care that comes from the little moments of imagination and childlike revertings, those of sweaty summer cloud watchings, floor-is-lava blunders or eating sticky pancakes in bed. Although distortion becomes scribbled at times, these songs play with a gentle kindness that feels uniquely intuitive to Little Chair; when it comes down to it, it’s making the effort to move the spider outside in the hopes that it would do the same if the roles were reversed.

About the playlist, the band shared;
