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 Athens, Ohio based artist Ashley Rhodus of wished bone.

In the warm brushings of lo-fi recordings, broken drum tracks and hushed vocals, wished bone is a project whose sincere performances have always felt like coming home. As a songwriter, Ashley’s lyrics live in perpetual stillness – where meandering melodies leave room for inviting contemplation and her poetic verses a vivid reminder to stop and enjoy the small things in life. To accompany her playlist, Ashley shared an insightful blurb;

one pm is my favorite time because it feels like a second morning. it is the thursday of times, the early august – nothing is set in stone at one pm. even if it isn’t morning anymore, the day still has the potential to become anything. 

this collection of songs is intended to give the feeling of one pm any time you listen to it. no matter what time it is, you can still write a poem, weed your garden, stare at the sky, call a friend, move your body or change your life.
