Song Recommendation: “Folsom” by Late Aster (2025)

I’m not quite sure why I have a nostalgic soft spot for any kind of song or vibe that conveys a sense of “post-club late-night neon-streaked wet pavement alongside foggy ennui” since, like, I’ve never gone clubbing a day in my life. But man, you hit me with those big hazy synths, deep basslines and whispery vocals and I can’t help but tune in. “Folsom” from Lake Aster hits and rides that vibe incredibly well in its short runtime, which might, in fact, be its only flaw: it could easily be twice as long without wearing out its welcome. That said, it’s a dreamy, moody listen for your next night drive.
