- Seasonal Playlist
Sweet 16
Drawing by Joanna Bovay
With the arrival of another spring comes our latest seasonal playlist. Some of these selections we first heard in the winter, but they were so sunny and optimistic we had to pull them out again in the spring (we're thinking of El Guincho's "Palmitos Park"). Others are newfound favorites that just feel perfect for this time of year. Finally, we added a few dance tracks for good measure. Because dancing is always in season.
1. Whitest Boy Alive—Golden Cage"Golden Cage—Fred Falke Remix" [MP3]
Whitest Boy Alive gets the jubilant French house treatment. It's a marriage made in dancefloor heaven. Buy this album
2. MGMT—Oracular Spectacular"Electric Feel" [MP3]
There's something about the falsetto vocals, retro synths, and propulsive drumbeat in this song that has us totally hooked. Buy this album
3. The Breeders—Mountain Battles"Night of Joy" [MP3]
The Breeders return with a sparse and haunting 60's girl group-inspired track. Buy this album
4. Kelley Polar—I Need You to Hold on While the Sky is Falling"Entropy Reigns" [MP3]
Polar may make dance music with the subtle craft of a classical musician, but that doesn't stop this song from sounding like a long lost Human League single. Buy this album
5. Hot Chip—Made in the Dark"One Pure Thought" [MP3]
The arrival of a new Hot Chip album is a cause for celebration, and this track is getting the job done when we need a fix bad. Buy this album
All MP3s are for sampling purposes only. Please go out and buy the artists' records. If anyone would like for us to remove a track, please email us at feedback@refinery29.com.
