Summer Weekend Mix 2.0

Annnnnnnnnnd its Friday. And apparently it’s August already? Better grab a beer and enjoy summer while its still around. Here’s your playlist for the weekend featuring Gorilla Warefare Tactics, Atlas Genius, The Chainsmokers, Olu, Panama Wedding, The Royal Concept, St. Lucia, CSS, RAC, Icona Pop, Truls and Avan Lava. Happy Weekend, make some stories.

 

P.S.

A couple honorable mentions that made it to the playlist. “All of the People” by Panama Wedding was released last week and it’s a jam. A bright synth pop song that summers are made on.

 

And then there’s “It’s Never Over” by Avan Lava. Try not to dance.

Smallpools Party: “Over & Over”

So, you’re probably sitting there thinking to yourself, “Gee whiz, it’s almost August. I still haven’t found a song to listen to for the rest of the summer.” NAILED IT. “Over & Over” is the most recent single off of Smallpools brand new EP and has everything that you could ever want in a summery pop anthem. A driving beat, electric pop guitar licks, bright synth overtones, all capped off with the catchiest “sing-a-long-ish” chorus I’ve heard in a long time. It’s as if Passion Pit met Phoenix and Vampire Weekend at a pool party, had an orgy in the shed, and made their own glorious royal baby. Turn your stereo up, roll the windows down, and start singing this one shamelessly at the top of your lungs. Stream “Over & Over” below. Happy Summer.

P.S.

There may or may not have been an intentional use of an oxford comma in a sentence about Vampire Weekend. Clever, right?
