Introducing a new (hopefully recurring) feature: Sentry Sounds, in which the in-class staff of The Sentry suggests music for the listening enjoyment of their readers.

For your (off-campus) convenience, we’ve made a Spotify playlist, linked to below. (Our Spotify ID should be “jpsentry,” by the way, for future playlists.)
