Wallace Stevens meets Leon Bridges through me, over coffee.

This is so weird but you may enjoy it. Mash-up of the lyrics to the song "The Hardest Part," sung by Olivia Dean and Leon Bridges AND (yes, AND!) a reading of "Disillusionment of Ten o'clock" by Wallace Stevens. Djs will make new things out of already good things. Please dance. (#ceintures are not #centaurs) Namaste.
