Mr Vincent Vincent was a man of many punk bands back in his native Canada. He may have now swapped his bass for scissors but as well as moustaches he very much still has music on his mind. And he got so excited with the recent arrival of the flaming ball of gas in the sky that he compiled a smashing summer playlist with which to delight your sunburnt ears.
Meet Me In The City by The Babies
It’s ten pm. It’s just got dark. The air is balmy. You’ve been sitting in a city park all day getting tipsy with your friends. Now you’re running around the streets, happily not knowing where you’re going next but with the sense that, wherever it is, it will be an amazing night. This is the song you’re listening to.
After The Moment by Craft Spells
The video doesn’t look that sunny but the song certainly sounds it.
It’s Real by Real Estate
Real Estate follow that boring tradition of lo-fi bands having incredibly dull names (Pavement)… but there’s nothing dull about this sunny track! Da-dum!
Sunny Sundae Smile by My Bloody Valentine
I’m guessing Vincent’s thinking here is it has the word ‘Sunny’ in the title. Grammatically acceptable for a summer playlist.
Myth by Beach House
I thought it was the guy singing on this new single from the Baltimore boy/girl duo. It’s not. It’s Victoria, the girl. That’s one husky voiced française right there. A perfect summer sunsetter of a tune.
