The listening list
Evanescence
Dramatic vocals and dense rock production give emotional confrontation a huge, immediate shape.
Garbage
Sharp guitars and a darkly playful hook bring attitude to an otherwise bleak emotional palette.
Nine Inch Nails
Industrial edges and a driving rhythm turn resentment into something physical and propulsive.
Radiohead
Unsettling production and rising dread make it one of the most claustrophobic listens in this set.
Placebo
Cool, melodic and slightly detached, it captures the strange intimacy of needing someone at a distance.
Linkin Park
A melodic release for feeling disconnected from yourself and desperate to find a place that fits.
