Kill the Morning

Some nights the apartment becomes something you can’t stay inside. The walls know too much. The problems have weight, the brain won’t stop running its loops, and the only option left is to go out and let something louder take over—body heat and basslines, eyes closed in the dark.

Whether it’s a room packed with strangers, all those faces going blank with effort, or just you alone in some wine-red corner, the principle is the same: switch off the self, let the music in, and burn through whatever’s left of the morning. Zola Jesus for the void in the center of your chest. SBTRKT for the London-fog texture of the commute home that never quite feels real. Justice for the moment when the drop stops being music and starts being physics.

You know it won’t fix anything. But you go anyway.
