8 fresh mixes to save + stream
Testing out a little “mini-issue” of Hear Hear to simply send a small batch of playlists your way. So no fluff, just a few more mixes to soundtrack the season, thoughtfully crafted by expert curators. Hope you enjoy!
autumn 2023 from top-tier music supervisor Jules Zucker. A cozy playlist highlighting up-and-coming indie artists like Slow Pulp, Mali Velasquez, Sun June, and Madeline Kenney.
bitch it’s autumn and (bitch did you just say) autumn from Amaya Lim, curator of the music discovery newsletter Record Store. The former has “traditional foliage and apple cider vibes” (ft. Carole King, George Harrison, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell) while the latter has “sad, rainy fall vibes” (ft. Bon Iver, boygenius, Laura Marling, James Taylor). As Lim writes, “pick your poison.”
Autumn Nocturnes: Romantic Mid-Century Jazz Selections from Matt Perpetua of the indispensable Fluxblog. As Perpetua explains: “Two hours of 50s/60s piano-centric jazz with a wistful fall/early winter vibe. This one is pretty chill and has a lot of utilities, but as I was putting this together I kept imagining scenes in movies with a new couple strolling through the park.”
forever fall from playlist connoisseur Adam Sharp. A collection of essential highlights from Sharp’s annual Fall mixes, kicking off with one of my favorite all-time Autumn tunes: Josh Ritter’s “Homecoming.”
oversized sweatshirt and the sad girl autumn soundtrack from Kasey Gelsomino, curator of Kasey’s Playlist. More hyper-specific mixes from Gelsomino’s collection — the former features a lot of Del Water Gap’s folkier stuff; the latter is very Phoebe-forward.
Halloween Rotation 🎃 from Patrick Mahan’s Carefully Curated catalog. The indie playlist you need for prime spooky season — featuring appropriately dark jams from CHVRCHES, TV On The Radio, The Killers, Cults, Talking Heads, and more.
Here’s a small bonus clip to pair with your new playlists — this Olivia Rodrigo segment on Jimmy Kimmel made me smile.
