The girl with kaleidoscope eyes allows dreampop sensation Friends to illuminate her feelings in this episode. 'Friend Crush' signals the beginning of a pick-me-up from snowy Glasgow, that really comes to the fore in the half hour 'Tough Lately mix'. Here comforting thoughts are layered with washed out synthesised beats from Class Actress to Cadillac.

The tracks throughout channel whistful longing and blissful nostalgia from Crystallin's 'Motorcycle Girl', Sufjan Steven's 'Chicago' and the forever resonating 'Killing Moon' by Echo and the Bunnymen.
