This week’s best songs: DIIV, Phoebe Bridgers & more
Welcome to the 27th edition of Songs of the Week for 2026, a supersized list designed to capture the soundtrack of recent memories.
This particular collection isn’t just a compilation of music; it’s a snapshot of an adventure. For the last month, I found myself living life on the other side of the pond, immersing myself in the sights and sounds of the United Kingdom. It was an experience rich with history, charming landscapes, and unexpected musical discoveries that certainly demanded a grander playlist than usual.
Balancing the rhythm of a global journey with the daily demands of a schedule can be tricky, especially when trying to soak up every moment. Discovering the balance between exploring vibrant city life, enjoying local traditions, and spending quality time with family proved to be the ultimate challenge.
That is why this week’s list stretches across three weeks, offering a deep dive into the various moods and moments experienced during that memorable trip. It’s more than just a list of songs; it’s an auditory diary of exploration and connection.
Whether you are planning a trip or simply looking for a soundtrack to recent adventures, this supersized edition invites you to step into the experience with a curated selection of tunes woven from the fabric of that time in London and beyond.
