Nice music for nice weather.


It's not often we see weather the doesn't involve some sort of precipitation here in Britain (particularly "oop North"), so when the sun does decide to make a guest appearance, it's best to make the most of it and what better way to compliment our exploding gas ball friend than with some summery tunes!
So to help you guys out with that arduous task of rifleing through your ipod for something remotely upbeat i thought i'd reccomend 3 albums for sunny days.

The first album i'm offering up to you rascals is Cajun Dance Party's debut album from 2008. It's a lovely little chunk of twee sounding indie pop with love them or hate them vocals. So if you somehow managed to miss them back then, then here's your second chance.
I havn't got a clue what they're doing now but i still enjoy colourful life every so often. And so should you!

Second up is the 2010 album Weathervanes from New York folktronica 5 piece Freelance Whales. An album that's bound to warm up your summer, Weathervanes is essentially an indie folk album with a ton of other twee-as-fuck instruments thrown in, just to make it more smiley. Often compared with The Postal Service by music critics, and Owl City by retards Freelance Whales really have released a fantastic album with single, "starring" being one of my personal favorite songs of the year!

Finally, comes an album from appalingly named band "The Seedy Seeds", but providing you can see past the name, comes an album so catchy that you will be humming the melodies so much that not only will your friends want to kick your face off, but you will want to do so as well. But this is a good thing, because we all love a super catchy melody don't we? Anyway, their 2008 album count the days fuses jangle pop with dance beats. Think The Feeling only a lot less shit and with a bit more UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE.

I'm gonna be a bit sneaky here now, after telling you i'd only share 3 summery albums, another one has just been cast into my mind. Well it's more like one of those EP's that's like two thirds of an album. White Magic by CEO is hot shit. So download it now! Oh, and I think they sampled a KLF song on the track White Magic, but i'm not quite sure.
