The Los Angeles band Whesli’s song “I Hope Today” is about being kind and patient with yourself. Lead singer Whesli Gamble’s voice is confident and sincere, and the groove behind her is irresistibly laid-back. The result feels like the perfect soundtrack to a reflective stroll. “Today’s got me thinking I don’t want to feel lost,” Gamble sings. She reminds me that the act of introspection is also a legitimate — and essential — political project.
