Sam Hickey’s Top Summer Tracks To Cut Hair To.

It’s been a while since we’ve brought you a playlist post, but be assured that we haven’t stopped listening!

As many of you will know, each of our stores is fuelled by some of the finest music ever recorded – no matter how old or new the selection may be.

Now that summer is here, our youngest barber and Hackett Spitalfields resident Mr Sam Hickey has picked out his top seasonal tracks.

This selection will be providing the soundtrack for both himself and his clients through the approaching warmer months.

Take it away, Sam..

Trying to follow up on their majorly successful album – Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix – it seemed that Phoenix might fall at the mighty hurdle in front of them. However, it wasn’t to be. This standout track from their new album, Bankrupt!, reminds me of times spent flicking through GQ trying to find ideas for a new summer outfit.

4) Summer Holiday by Wild Nothing

Everyone’s excited for their holidays, everyone’s looking to get a new, sharp cut for their travels and this song from Wild Nothing captures the mood perfectly.

5) A Tout A La Heure by Bibio

Here are five more summer selections courtesy of the Head Office team at Covent Garden:

6) Wavves – Sail To The Sun

Surfer/Stoner – label Wavves’ music as you please. The blissful care-free vibes effortlessly take you away to the West Coast for some fun in the sun.

7) Bonobo – Emkay

Bonobo’s latest record is crisply absorbing and subtly euphoric.  An ideal tone for people both preparing for summer to start and also reminiscing on their holiday experiences come September.

8) Vampire Weekend – Diane Young

This fresh single from the band’s latest album is as chirpy and catchy as you would expect. Welcome easy-listening and a soon-to-be festival favourite.

9) Kool & The Gang – Summer Madness

This classic simply speaks for itself.

10) LEN – Steal My Sunshine

Pure 90s. Pure summer.
