Like the first mix, this playlist contains eight tracks by eight indie artists, all of which feature prominent strings. This mix takes a decidedly softer approach, with a selection of tracks that tend to be more laid-back. It features songs by Bon Iver, Rostam Batmanglij (of Vampire Weekend fame), and a project I’m associated with. Let these songs take you to a place far away from the cacophony of what plays on the radio.
