THE SONIC INSIDER

POSITIVELY PESSIMISTIC: PLAYLIST

Today we have Positively Pessimistic. True to its name, this playlist blends feel-good melodies with melancholic undertones—a soundtrack for the soul on a gray, rainy day. Perfect for moments of quiet reflection or simply slowing down, the mix leans into indie rock, tinged with alt-rock textures and a dreamy shoegaze haze. Featuring artists like The Backseat Lovers, Teenage Priest, maxime., Julian Skiboat, and more, these tracks strike that delicate balance between hopeful and heart-heavy.
