Breezing through my Summer playlist: fun., Andrew Bird and some rock.

1 Jun

Summer! Also: Get well soon, KoL

Exams are conspiring to make this the least fun few weeks of my life. That means posting is likely to become grouchy/irregular. I thought about just posting some playlists of mine over the coming weeks with a few comments. Then I realised that would be incredibly lazy. Then I thought, it’s still lazy but I’m going to do it. And as a reminder, we compiled a summer-ready playlist for you last year; it’s worth checking out. Enjoy these next few weeks. If you have exams, bear with it; if not, bear with whatever ‘it’ you have:

The Way U Do – Shlohmo

31 May

Nothing big for today, I just wanted to share a lovely little song that has been playing off my laptop constantly and helping me get through my studying. Off of Shlohmo’s EP, Vacation, this song is another quietly gorgeous track to add to his growing collection of gems. Take a listen:

Hurricane – MS MR

30 May

I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve fallen in love with anything that has female vocals, so when I heard this I was suitably amped that my female tune drought had come to an end. This has been on repeat for the last twenty minutes and it’s just not getting any worse. If you knew me in real life I would give you a serious look and tell you to listen to this. Because we’re in the internet world, all I can do is tell you that your life will be better if you do, and that you can send me a nice thank you message if you do enjoy it. “Welcome to the inner workings of my mind…”

Till We Die (feat. Nina Kinert) – Tomas Barford

29 May

By golly, I’ve seen some smouldering looks in my time, but Danish producer Tomas Barfod surely takes the cake with that stare. Why so moody Tomas? I don’t know, must all be part of the image. Anyways, have a listen to Till We Die.

Montana – Youth Lagoon (Turtles All The Way Down)

28 May

Awake is gone. I really hope that my readers like Awake and weren’t one of the masses to have ignored it because it was the best show of the year.  And it’s dead now (thanks a lot NBC)! (more…)

Troublemaker – Beach House

18 May

Exactly how I imagine Beach House spending their time.

I’m a believer in a few things in life – laughing at one’s own jokes, the superiority of pandas above anything – and symmetry. I suppose symmetry is a pretty definite concept but as I started this week off with Beach House, I thought I’d return to them on Friday. Balance and all. Heads up: Michael and I claimed to have started reviewing The Voice but that rather fell to pot last week. I could reel off a few excuses (all valid but all very dull) so I’m making a (tentative) promise to post some reviews on Sunday afternoon before the results show that night. Hold me to that. Beach House after the jump:

I Just Wanna Be – Born Blonde

15 May

Not often is it that I get to say “I’m good friends with the person in that band.” Sadly, this is not one of those times. The closest I’ve gotten is befriending Born Blonde’s lead singer’s sister, who may herself have a music career in the cards. I know, some families just get all the talent while others make websites talking about how incredible they are. It’s just the way the world works.

Lazuli – Beach House

14 May

In Bloom: Beach House

So. Much. Work. But that’s boring. What’s not boring: Beach House’s new album. Teen Dream was an alternate soundtrack for my summer last year and it’s coincidenceville that they’ve released Bloom in time for this vacation. Huzzahs all round:

Get Up – Carousel

12 May

Carousel: Not actually on one.

We blogged Where Have You Been by Carousel a while back and that was infectiously happy. This is just as good. And the absolute perfect song for your Saturday morning.

Here’s the song:

Take A Walk – Passion Pit

10 May

I admire Passion Pit because they seemed to storm onto the scene with their own kind of genre. They had synths, drum kits, great vocals, and just a knack for creating a melody that would pester you all day and wouldn’t let you go a minute without humming it. Here’s their latest song from their upcoming album Gossamer.
