good nightmoumoon
A top pick for when you want to feel soothed, the mellow number “good night.” It’s a track from moumoon’s 2006 mini album “Flowers,” by the music duo known for songs like “Sunshine Girl.” The uniquely warm atmosphere that only moumoon can create, along with the gentle, acoustic guitar–based melody, blends perfectly with YUKA’s clear, translucent vocals.
