TOOL’S DOWN: a musical segment

Hope you’re doing well! I’m Couper from Pretty Standard, a brand with a massive love for music. To celebrate that, we’ve started a weekly segment called Tools Down, where we encourage our audience to drop everything and discover some new music.

Every Monday, we curate 10-track playlists or feature submissions from a wide range of musicians sharing their '10 Tracks of the Week.' Bringing a vibrant exploration of sound and community, perfectly in tune with our audience's diverse tastes.

Whether it’s something jazzy like Bobbi Humphrey, punky from Placebo, metallic with TOOL, drum and bass-y from Cloud 9, or even tracks in Egyptian, Spanish, Japanese—the list goes on, and we’re all about keeping it diverse and exciting.

Although a rogue reader submission has never been made were open to receive your submissions. If you’re keen, we’d love to feature your 10 favorite tracks—whatever you’re into, listening to, or inspired by right now.

To follow along sign up to our newsletter, where any guest recommendation will be waiting for you patiently in your inbox.

Otherwise, all tracks live permanently on our Spotify as ‘WEEKLY TRACK-LISTS’ and as a ‘FULL TRACK-LIST’

We wish you happy listening,

Till next time,

Couper Baskus // official ‘Ne'er-do-well’ and global head of ‘Such-and-such’ @ pretty standard
