However, before we look ahead, Summer 2010 must be commemorated. The following tracks were the ones that constantly bellowed out my windows and sunroof, always providing a perfect soundtrack. Some of these are parts of albums that I personally recommend in their entirety to enjoy the entire experience, but for sake of brevity these will serve as a great starting point.
HNW SUMMER '10 SOUNDTRACK
(Track - Artist)
Deadbeat Summer - Neon Indian
(You had to see this one coming ^^ this appears on the album Psychic Chasms, released in 2009. It will remain a great symbol of the chillwave movement and of summer sounds)
Let's Go Surfing - The Drums
(^This is self-explanatory. Be sure to check out their EP entitled Summertime! and their recent full-length debut The Drums)
Ragged Wood - Fleet Foxes
(^ This entire album, self-titled, is magical. It is good for any season/weather conditions. Discover them whilst their catalogue is still perfect.)
Jump In The Pool - Friendly Fires
(One of my truly favorite bands and live acts. They have catchy basslines/riffs, fun beats, and a great frontman/dancer/David Byrne fan in Ed MacFarlane. Check out this video for their most recent single, Kiss of Life.)
Free Energy - Free Energy
Us V Them - LCD Soundsystem
(if your summer did not include any dancing to LCD Soundsystem, it's time for a change)
40 Day Dream - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Holiday - Vampire Weekend
Brian Eno - MGMT
Summertime Clothes - Animal Collective
Post Acid - Wavves
(EDIT: NEW VIDEO! ^^)
We Are The People - Empire of the Sun
Party and Bullshit (Ratatat Remix) - Notorious B.I.G.
Down With Disease - Phish
Riot Rhythm - Sleigh Bells
The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
Summer 2010, y'all were great on Fallon!
