I mailed out a mix CD to my dear friend from high school who I never see because she’s been in grad school in California and was in the Peace Corps in Tanzania before that. I’ve been listening to it myself on repeat pretty much since, too. It’s a little bit like knowing you’re beneath the same pale moon, listening to the same mix.
This isn’t super helpful because I’m not linking directly to the songs, I know. Sorry!

What are you listening to? I need some music suggestions!
The Lumineers, also Kat Edmundsum.
Spelled it wrong, Kat Edmonson.
Thanks for the suggestion, Molly! I listened to her this morning. Perfect with a cup of tea 🙂
I’ll play.
Totally agree with the Lumineers suggestion above.
Here are some tracks that seem to go along with this vibe a bit, kind of, maybe:
The Middle East – Blood
Trampled by Turtles – Wait So Long
Radical Face – Welcome Home, Son
The Beta Band – Dry the Rain
Youth Lagoon – “July” or “Montana”
Feist & Ben Gibbard – The Train Song
Chris & Thomas – Broken Chair (which I admittedly just heard on a google commercial)
Explosions in the Sky – Postcard from 1952
I’m sure we’ve discussed The Head and The Heart already, right?
