Spring is weird. We like to associate it with warm (but not too hot) weather, flowers and a sudden desire to spend as much time as possible walking around outside. And it is like that sometimes. Other times, though, especially in Texas, it’s gross and cold and rainy or, in the case of Dallas, indistinguishable from the scorching, miserable summer that follows. Don’t get us started on “spring fever” and all of the sexual connotations of the season — we’ll leave that to Kacey Musgraves and her new anthem for horniness, which is included in this playlist, of course.
We’re not really sure how we’re supposed to be embracing this time of year, so we’re going to let our favorite spring-coded music decide for us. It’s been an eventful past few weeks in the world of new music releases, with several projects from major pop stars, indie darlings and local favorites providing a perfectly chipper, moody and even horny soundtrack for our lives. Throw in some classics that just sound spring-y — like 1960s French pop or 1990s radio rock — and there you’ll have it: some vaguely pleasant feeling to get by on until summer. (We’re doing our best here.)
If this isn’t enough, you can catch some of these artists in person this year.
