This Week's Picks: 7/28-8/4

As much as I have a love/hate relationship with Spotify and artist royalties… I LOVE my discover weekly playlists! This week I was really digging bands, Golden Coast and Al Bairre from my playlist. These two bands definitely need to be added to your summer mixes! Their music is fun, light, feel-good, and great for a relaxing day at the beach or pool. 

I am so excited to share “Beggars” by Mainland! I have seen them several times this year and they always played it live. It is one of my favorites and they finally dropped it as a single! They are all about spreading those good vibes and this song does just that. If you ever need a pick me up, just crank this one extra loud!

Bastille dropping their new single, "Fake It", yesterday couldn’t have come at a better time! I am so excited to share it on this week’s playlist. If you follow me on Spotify, you may have noticed I was listening to this an unhealthy amount last night. I cannot stop, I am obsessed! Dan Smith’s vocals are hauntingly beautiful and exceptionally passionate, accompanied by an incredibly powerful melody. You can feel his heartache, despair, and anger over what seems to have been a bad relationship. This is definitely one of their most compelling songs yet. I am now itching for their new album, “Wild World”’s release on September 9th!

“Say Yeah” is a new single release from Kishi Bashi. His new album, “Sonderlust” will be released on September 16th! He also announced a Fall tour, so definitely catch a show of his if you can. If you have yet to listen to him, his sound is considered experimental/orchestral pop. He transports you into a fantasy with his music, so magical, happy, and enticing! His talent needs to be talked about more often!

I hope you enjoy the songs I’ve included on this week’s playlist. Please let us know your favorites or what you’ve had playing on repeat this Summer! :)

Have a great weekend!
