Looking out the window at a tree whose leaves are mostly green, with a large chunk that have skipped yellow to go right into a lovely red; it’s fall, folks! September usually is the time when autumnal weather feels about appropriate to me, and it’s certainly delivering on that. This playlist… doesn’t particularly deliver on the fall vibes, but I’ve been making a conscious effort to limit how much I let the seasonal glooms take over, and a big part of that is listening to gloomy new music and then stopping myself from actually putting it into the playlist.

I love it.
