New Playlist Alert: Doomscrolling

 

We’re all guilty of mindless scrolling through our favorite social platform(s) for an ungodly amount of time. Our eyes scan the photos, headlines, and comments even though we know to NEVER check the comments. We keep going, searching for the next eye-catching post. 

But in 2020, scrolling can take on a different, darker energy. We’ve found ourselves floundering in an ocean of terrible news that causes our pulses to quicken, anxiety to spike, and anger to rise… and we can’t stop scrolling, seeing more of the same, seeking out more terrible news.

It’s a vicious cycle called Doomscrolling.

This playlist captures the self-destructive behavior of Doomscrolling through dark drones, pulsing synths, unsettling percussion, and dissonant atmospheres. Feel yourself tense up as you go down the doom-and-gloom rabbit hole, finding more and more reasons to be afraid. Just remember that fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. It’s the path to the dark side. So just put the device down and stop the cycle, alright?

Here are just a few of our favorite tracks from Doomscrolling:

“Peering Over The Edge”

Each day can feel like a trip to the edge. Will we finally cross that line? Opening with a whirling, desolate blanket of FX that intertwines with sparse synth chords, “Peering Over The Edge” is a dark, yet mellow approach to staring into the void that is your Twitter feed.

“Alter Ego” 

With a slight sci-fi feel, “Alter Ego” features a repetitive keyboard line playing over a light dubstep beat backdrop and distant pads. There’s an eerie sense of calm as you briefly close your eyes before witnessing the next apocalyptic headline.

“That Sinking Feeling”

You know that sinking feeling you get when you open up your phone one last time before bed. It’s been too quiet today, surely something must be wrong. And of course it is. Pulsing strings, creepy piano lines, foreboding drones... it all adds up to some serious tension and apprehension. After all, we’re just one tweet away from armageddon.
