Happy Monday + Happy Spring!

March 20th was the first official day of spring. So, here’s some fresh music for a fresh season. Listen to these cool tracks as you picnic at the park or take a stroll around the park… okay for some reasons my strongest connotation with spring is going to the park. But, whatever it is you’re doing to celebrate this time of revival, do it to the tune of some awesome new songs.

march four mixtape

01. Naive Thieves – Anxiété :: The tropical sounding riff that appears throughout this song balances out The Strokes-esque vocals to keep it light and airy.

02. NONONO – Hungry Eyes :: If you dig HAIM (which you definitely should), then this one is for you. The songs ‘hook’ will certainly hook you.

03. Astrid Engberg – Ouaga Noma :: Being outside and carefree is at its most appealing when this song is playing.

04. Echotape – We Should Feel Like We Are In Love :: Straight up rocking. But not. The inclusion of guttural vocals and a booming chorus somehow makes the track more emotionally accessible. Plus small accents throughout (like a vocal trill) add an extra layer of grooviness.

05. Kite Party – Halflife :: Pensive for sure, yet the at-times twinging vocals mixed with a full beat gives you an uplifted feeling.

06. Holly Miranda – Everlasting :: “Everlasting” slides back and forth between sweetness and murkiness, though remains gentle through its entirety. When Miranda’s voice soars you can just imagine the sun peeking through the clouds. Just like the fluctuating weather. So rest assured, Spring really is here.
