August is already here! That means all the little kiddies are getting ready to back to school. It’s kind of crazy how they get out in May or June and already have to go back in August or September. I don’t have any kids but I’m sure those of you who do are getting ready for those hectic schedules again. First, take a moment to relax. We still have a month of summer left and the tunes just keep getting better while we battle or bathe in the sun. Also, here’s what I’ve been listening this past month!
In July, a few more Arcade Fire songs surfaced from Arcade Fire’s album! (The Suburbs officially come out tomorrow, August 2 in the UK and the day after in the States.) Even though I was very skeptical of how this third studio album would turn out, I am enjoying it much more than I thought I would have. Yes, the band has taken some experimental turns. All groups need to do that to expand their sound but I’m mostly happy with a majority of the album maintaining the classic, melodramatic, swooping arrangements they’ve made famous. So enjoy the track, “We Used To Wait.” Other releases since last month’s mixtape include notable local EPs by POLLS, White Arrows, Superhumanoids and more.
Also, I’ve got you guys covered with the dance beats through some great remixes from The Twelves, RAC (one of my favorite remix artists), Sam Sparro as well as a great mash up of Aeroplane, Giselle, and Friendly Fires. July was just a very a kind month.
