If you're into cozy sounds with a dash of whimsy, Trunk Records' lovingly curated collection of '60s and '70s children's music is the perfect soundtrack to a rainy afternoon. A magical brew of folk, orchestral pop, and psychedelia, this innocently trippy music is a must-hear for fans of latter-day travelers like Broadcast and Soundcarriers.
