Hot summer, indeed, Reader. Hot summer indeed. As raven + crow gear up to fly the coop and we all prepare for some warm-weather time off, we leave you with our current top ten summer songs, to help ‘get the party started,’ as they say.
We’ve got a little something for everyone—the RAC remix of Katy Perry (yes, Katy Perry) song that Katie and I have been putting on repeat of late as we host two-person dance parties at home (sorry, neighbors); a new, slightly crazed and catchy as hell track from Passion Pit‘s forth-coming sophomore album; a summer jam from Major Lazer (AKA, Diplo, that guy from all the TV commercials); another hard rocking party number from Canadian rock duo, Japandroids; some nice light summer pop from Jersey’s Real Estate; impassioned, melody-driven hip-hop from another Canadian (happy belated Canada Day guys), Cadence Weapon; another appearance from Diplo as he remixes Sleigh Bell‘s “Demons”; a re-post (because we love it so much and it’s oh so summery) from South Brooklyn neighbor, Sean Bones; a remix of RAC‘s (AKA, Andre Allen Anjos) first ever original track; and an island-infused song from Tanlines‘ superb debut full-length, Mixed Emotions.
Enjoy these fine tunes with fine friends, a fine drink in-hand, and hopefully far, far, far from a computer screen or any un-summery concerns, worries, or obligations.
Expand the player to the bottom left if you are in-front of a computer to listen to the whole list or click/right-click individual tracks to listen to them one at a time.
