There’s been a lot of quality music coming out lately, so I’d thought I’d throw together a short mix for such a lovely, sunny day! Bringing you some of the tastiest tracks, I may be a bit bias on what constitutes a good time on Soundcloud, but give it a shot. Happy Sunday fellow bloggers!
King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard – “Hot Water”
After doing a little write up for SpeakerTV, I cannot stop listening to this track. Upbeat and psychedelic, King Gizzard have really focused on their sound and delivered a longer track. And it is killer. Also, I stand by me comparison to the Anchorman scene in which Ron Burgundy plays a magnificent flute solo in a jazz club. #AQUALUNG
The Harpoons – “Unforgettable”
I am pretty obsessed with their whole album right now and since I’m seeing them this Saturday, of course they’re going to be on this playlist. Not only do The Harpoons bring it hard with their old school R&B vibes, they somehow manage to make it contemporary and dreamy. Such talented, good-sounding folks.
Jaden Smith ft. Willow Smith – “Melancholy”
Last week, Jaden Smith took Pink Floyd’s 70’s hit ‘Breathe‘ and turned it into a slow trip out. Surprisingly, he didn’t slaughter the track, instead bringing a somber, psychedelic vibe that talks about the dark side of fame. (Not the dark side of the moon.)
Courtney Barnett – “Pickles From The Jar”
Deadpan singing never sounded so cheeky. The indie-pop heroine has made it into my library for quite a while now, her rambling lyrics and laid back tones are everything you need to kick back, let’s be honest.
The Dø – “Miracles”
After listening to their album for a Q&A write up, I must admit, these European guys have really taken off in my playlist. Simple electronic chords and lyrics you can sing to, The Dø deliver a semi-aggressive ode to the past. And yes, it sounds good.
Childish Gambino – “Dream / Southern Hospitality / Partna Dem”
While there’s a whole genre of Tumblr rap that seems to be loved by everyone, Donald Glover delivers yet again another free mixtape despite his recent Australian touring and popularity in general. Constituting about three separate tracks that can be defined from one another, Gambino talks about his dreams before spitting hard to carefully made beats.
