Monthly Mix: August 2016

Glass Animals explain How To Be A Human Being


     Even though the summer is coming to an end, the good times keep rolling on. Summer brought lots of sunshine, endless parties, and of course a big serving of new music.
     English indie-rockers Glass Animals are making some waves with their latest album How To Be A Human Being [August 26th, via Caroline Records]. The eleven tracks maintain a quirky uptempo beat that will keep the interest of all the late night guests. On the slinky "Youth", the band finds itself at its best with their familiar tribal rock sound. Check them out this fall as their tour slides through Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Germany.
     As we look back at all the fun adventures of the summer and get ready for the brisk nights of autumn, it's always nice to know the mp3 is reloaded with fresh tunes. The August Playlist makes a good soundtrack for the last pool party of the season.

Monthly Mix: May 2013

Daft Punk shares Random Access Memories

     The month of May is usually synonymous with sunshine and a revival period for mother nature. As the fresh bloom starts to spring up, the musical world also begins sprouting up some blossoms of its own in the form of colorful mp3s.
     Electronic dance-rock duo Daft Punk is back in the fold with their first studio release in 8 years Random Access Memories [May 21, via Columbia]. The long-awaited album was worth the wait as the Frenchmen behind the robot helmets Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter deliver the goods with a 70's-style disco dance party. This record is filled with collaborations, with one of the better cameos coming from Animal Collective's Panda Bear on the club-shaking "Doin' It Right." After one listen, everybody will be dancing and be doing it right. Although there are no current plans for a tour, the rumors will always be circulating.
     With the cold and rainy weather behind us, the warmth of the summer will soon be beckoning. The May Playlist has a dynamic assortment of cuts that will make it easy to take in the vibrant sounds, perfect for a sunny afternoon stroll through the park.
