I feel like trailer music has the potential to appeal to literally anyone, and I like to include albums that incorporate various genres and are not necessarily "mainstream" trailer music. As such, hopefully even fans of americana, celtic folk, synthwave, or even pop, found something to their liking in May's selection. And if your appetite still wasn't quite satiated, well, then you're welcome to pop back next month and see what June has to offer! Hope to see you then, čau!
