Each day I add music to my soundtrack to 2021 Spotify playlist. Here is the second batch for August.

Wednesday 18 August: Coastal – Days Go By
Although every day has its own challenges, the repetitive nature of working from home since March 2020 also makes it difficult to distinguish between the days. Is it Wednesday again? I took Days Go By from UK-based retrowave band Coastal which is on the brand new Pure Synthpop Vol.2 album.
Thursday 19 August: ASPRA – Velvet
ASPRA is the solo projectof Sophia Sarigiannidou from the Greek synth pop duo Marsheaux. Her debut is a cover of The Big Pink‘s shoegaze masterpiece Velvet (2009). That suits #throwbackthursday
