This mix has been in progress for a while now. As ever, the weather has been my muse. After noticing that a lot of spring playlists seem to jump the gun, favoring peppy celebrations of swimsuits and humidity with more bass and drums than a Wisconsin June can handle, I made almost the opposite.

Intended to be listened to on a slow and still slightly chilly bike ride, while holed up in your apartment during a May rainstorm, or when sunning by the lake (even if you have to wear a sweater to do so). It’s slow, and maybe even a bit forlorn, but definitely hopeful in the end. Enjoy!
