Soundtrack to a Vacant Life

"Music is what feelings sounds like"

This is a daily (usually) updated blog of music that I listen to. If you like post-rock, experimental, ambient, shoegaze, neo-classical, minimalistic, indie, folk, electronic, or anything in between, then you'll enjoy the songs I have here. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I do. If you have any suggestions as to any songs you think may go well here, shoot me an email :)

Now put on some good quality headphones and listen!
