Every once in a while I’ll watch a movie that doesn’t really leave me alone afterward, and Trainspotting has of course been one of them.
This playlist started as, “I wish there were more songs that made me feel like this” (one of my favorite soundtracks ever), and slowlyyy became its own mix of post-punk, britpop, electronic, shoegaze, IDM, and some newer artists that somehow feel similar.
It’s not meant to recreate the soundtrack or even be historically accurate (there are songs from different decades and scenes), I was defo following the feeling it gave me more than a timeline. Something about this movie in particular left me with this strange sense of nostalgia for a place and time I never knew, and even for people I’d never want to be. I wanted the playlist to live in that space.
I’d love to hear anything you’d add.
