Super brief, but not exactly random. I’m upstate in the woods for a family get-together, and didn’t have time to properly get a playlist off. But there’s a small bit of method to the madness here: I’ve been listening to a lot of indie rock that is either comprised of women or feature women, and so the first half of this playlist is a showcase for some incredible music in that arena. The second half is all instrumental psych rock. Enjoy!
