A bit of rough: books, music, art and more to help with a hangover

Music

Scottish composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Erland Cooper is frequently lauded for his exploration of psychogeography: finding connections between place, memory and nature. If you have connected a little too hard with your night out, however, his soothing soundbaths also work detoxifying wonders. Over eight tracks of classical piano, the gentle beauty of his 2022 album, Music for Growing Flowers, unfolds with the same cathartic appeal of petting a quiet puppy in the middle of a duvet fort, asking very little of its listener as it soothes and swoons. Dim the lights, grab an ice-pop for slow, sugary hydration, and press play: this one will even out any lingering hangxiety in no time. Jenessa Williams
