The (Play) List: For the Guest List
A Music Toolkit for Hosting, Gathering, or Tuning Out Your Pervy Uncle
‘Tis the season for gathering, which means you’ll need a playlist. Our November drop begins mellow for guest arrivals, then escalates into pop-bops for the cocktail crescendo. The come-down for cleanup is as chill as the track list’s beginning. It strikes just the right balance between lilting background noise and turn-it-up-to-sing-along.
