Re: What are you listening to?

Ooooh... I could go on and on about this topic, but I won't.

I will just give you a list of a few things:

For when I want inspiration via lyrics for writing (AKA the non-instrumental stuff I've been super digging lately):

- Ezra Furman (who I am obsessed with)
- St. Vincent
- Rubblebucket
- Sylvan Esso
- Dan Deacon
- Alvvays
- YACHT

For when I'm actually writing or want to set a particular mood for myself (AKA instrumental stuff):

- The Daredevil soundtrack (Duh... it's so good)
- The Sense8 soundtrack
- Brian Tyler's stuff for Iron Man 3 and Thor 2
- Anything by Clint Mansell, but particularly the Moon soundtrack
- The Truman Show soundtrack (It's mostly Philip Glass and it's super underrated)
- Daft Punk's Tron: Legacy soundtrack
- The Inception soundtrack
- The modern Battlestar Galactica soundtracks (there are a few)
- The Cloud Atlas

I wouldn't recommend Murray Gold's work on Doctor Who or other amazing soundtracks to things like LotR or Harry Potter, even though I think they are amazing, only because to me they don't really set a good Daredevil-y mood. They have more of a fantasy world "going on a grand adventure!" vibe vs. being a little more minimalist, darker, or intense.
