Twin Lion: "Safest In Bearhugs" AUDIO

twinlion

I don’t know much about Twin Lion – he makes lofi pop tunes and will probably get compared to wavves quite a bit. Their overall aesthetic is similar but it is a bit off to compare the two – wavves makes beach punk and this is more like tropical pop heard through a shitty am radio.

Kurt Vile: "Freeway" AUDIO

This song is great for the summer but also able to maintain a serious amount of weirdness which is a tough feat. Some nice synth/guitar/drums get things going and create a sonic wash that the vocals try to squeeze through in the best way possible. It is kind of like Vile is singing through honey – not in that he is sweet but in that he is yelling through something sticky and thick. Via RSB:
