isis - carry

i don't listen to much music when i'm angry very often. but when i do, there are different sorts of songs for different sorts of angry. i like to listen to isis when i'm frustrated because their songs build to this big, cathartic resolution so i feel like i'm being taken along my emotional arc, from the beginning and then ultimately to the end where i can return to a more peaceful state.
crystal castles - doe deer (starting at about 2:35)

i'll listen to something like crystal castles when i'm furious because it's just all-out spasms of scream-your-lungs-out anger. sometimes it's nice to take a couple minutes to give yourself over entirely to the emotion.

and i listen ben frost when i'm just kind of seething. i really like the way this song plays with your desire to hear a sound resolve, but always stops a little bit short.
