up in the light of the

almost all the mixtapes i make are personal to me in some way or another, but this one is really a shining beacon of Personal Significance.  one of my favorite feelings is in the transitory stages when the air first starts to clear after winter, and taking walks along the river in spring and summertime.  there have always been a handful of songs that have kind of held that atmosphere in my head, often associated by memory to the summer days and nights i’d spend in the city with my friends during the seasons between high school.  this is a mixtape about that.
