About the Playlist

I’ve always been enamored with rain and the eternal gloom of Oregon winters. It’s when I’m at my most creative and inspired, because there’s really nothing to do but cozy up inside, put on a good record, and draw until you can’t anymore. This set of songs is inspired by that, but with a glimmer of springtime hope in there. Think of that moment when the storm clouds part to let in a beautiful ray of sunshine from the other side. —Jodie
