Autumn Mix

When autumn starts creeping in and the air gets that bite to it, I always have the same impulse: disappear into bed, plug in headphones, and commit to assembling a season soundtrack. The kind of playlist you build in your head for weeks but never quite finish, always adjusting, always wondering if you’re getting the mood right before winter actually shows up.

There’s something about assigning a sound to every season shift. The idea that you’re preparing, that you know exactly what October and November require. Even if most days I just hit shuffle on the same stuff I’ve been listening to for months.
