Autumn is so good. You can optimistically sip coffee on the terrace, ride your bike to school and invite your friends to impromptu picnics. Deep down you know that winter is quickly approaching. And who doesn’t love to sit by the window, drink herbal tea, covered in a pink wool blanket and take in a book?
This mixtape is for those days when it’s still summer in your head but the weather’s really not with you. Don’t give up — turn on ‘Side A’ of this playlist and sweat it out. You’ll be fine. When the homebody inside you awakes, ‘Side B’ will let snowflakes fall all over your living room.
