October Echoes: Better Late Than Never?
We all know that time zigzags like a leaf in the wind, and somewhere it's always happy hour. So yes, it's STILL October right here and now and then, with every play of this playlist.
So here we are, nearly halfway through November — racing toward the finish line that is also that start of 2024.
This mix? It's an ode to October's whimsy, a collection where each track is a crunchy leaf underfoot, from the stubborn sun of summer's end to the first frosty mornings that have us digging for gloves. November's narrative will come with its own playlist, but for now, we're keeping it snug and to the point.
Cue the rewind. With every press of play, we're back in October — an echo of amber tones in our playlist. Baxter Dury starts us off with the gravitas of "Too Heavy," and Lana Del Rey ascends with "Say Yes To Heaven," serenading us into an everlasting fall.
Big shoutouts are in order! Vacationer and Datarock are back, dropping their first beats in a good while. It's been over a decade since we caught Datarock's vibrant spectacle back at the Highline Ballroom in 2010 (oh, the memories! Check them out here).
And who could forget that epic trip to Iceland in 2012? We voyaged with Vacationer to document their Icelandic debut at the Iceland Airwaves music festival — a journey as mesmerizing as ordering a goat’s face at a drive-through window (relive that FULL adventure here).
So, welcome to the mix where it's always October and every song is a turnback to moments we’ve snapped and savored. Let the playlist play and the memories sway.
And without further a do, t̶h̶i̶s̶ last month’s playlist:
