reading, writing and arithmetic is one of my favorite albums so it’s a high i’ve been chasing for years. i feel like it’s very hard to replicate 1:1 but here’s some things that personally evoke similar feelings. the cardigans 1994 album emmerdale - sweet vocals + running through fields vibes for sure faye wong’s ECO PACK-王菲-浮躁- light hearted basslines and playful melodies alice phoebe lou- any of her work, really. not an exact match sonically, but there’s a similar sense of whimsy in her voice and lyricism. this song by hey cowboy! tiger trap’s 1993 self titled- a similar sense of atmospheric cheekiness, but faster in a lot of parts with much fuzzier guitars.

The Innocence Mission always struck me as very close in spirit to the Sundays (as filtered through Mazzy Star, perhaps): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ2UjAbn2h4

Leith Ross is a great one- such sweet songs, like you (on my arm), and we’ll never have sex! so good!! a classic- like real people do, by hozier! amoeba is one of my fav clairo songs, her production is light and jazzy and definitely up that happy but gentle alley. For a speed round: -la lune by billie martin -more like you by orla gartland -means something by lizzy mcalpine -i know you by faye webster -the bug collector by hathey hendrix -teeth marks by S.G goodman -you, me, lonely by FIZZ -persimmon by the army, the navy -serotonin by angie mcmahon -real estate by adam melchor -some kind of control by ruby gill and i’m sure there’s more!i tried to stick with songs that felt happier/felt like a small animal would be happy to listen to (maybe not lyrically,, just vibes wise) let me know if you want more!! hope this helps a little p.s. i sooo recommend listening to more of all of these artists if you get the chance too- they’re some of my absolute favs ! :)

缺省(Default) - California Nebula (beautifully produced shoegaze album) Cowgirl Clue - Rodeo Star (so fun, but trust fall is a tear jerker) Coco & Clair Clair - Sexy (girly fun, until I play Lamb) Kitty Craft - Beats and Breaks from the Flower Patch (makes me feel like life would be better as a cat) Massive Attack - Mezzanine (everyone knows it and it just makes me feel so cool)

I’m thinking the Sundays, Mazzy Star, The Cranberries, Faye Webster, The Marias, Adrianne Lenker, Laufey, Sade, Clairo, etc. I think I’m craving the sound of music on the radio on my way to school as a child.
