Here's something that I discovered just now... or rather, the band is one of my three favourite English bands that I discovered via BBC's Glastonbury coverage when I lived in London about ten years ago. That was in the summer, of course, and they have a very summery style.

I'll give their brand new video (posted 20 July, summer again) a shot here rather than some favourite songs of them from ten years ago as you like to find out about new stuff, don't you? And I think that this is well up with their best material (first impression of course).

^ Thanks for the link, Sam! I will check out the article soon.

_________________________________________________

A beautiful line-up that captures very different moods! I wasn't around last weekend, but I will write a few words about the suggested songs soon.

Meanwhile, I would like to suggest another song. In case more people want to join us I can easily remove it from the playlist.

Rita Payés - Nunca vas a comprender (off the album: Como la piel, 2021)


I would like to introduce to you this young and talented Spanish jazz musician. I enjoy to listen to this light kind of music paired with her beautiful soulful voice. The music fits perfectly with the mood on a cozy summer afternoon or evening imo. I can really recommend the entire album which she recorded together with her mother, Elisabeth Roma.

Another song from summer 2022. I saw this band twice at the time, it's not my favourite song on the album but loved the build-up for this one, it was incredibly festive.

Ah, I discovered that track recently on a local radio show, they use the counting part for the intro because it's dedicated to lists and tops.

Of course Wink It's a bit better than I remembered (I was 8yo at the time), there are some cool guitar and bass parts, I thought it was all electronic.

I heard that one on the radio. I never thought much of Conan Osiris but with a proper instrumental he's actually good.
I like how Gala Drop uses both rock and dub to create depth and contrast, everything is not drowned in reverb all the time.

^ Unfortunately it is not the same version; it sounds more like a demo version with a rather disappointing mix. The original (album?) version is 5:03 in length, has a longer instrumental introduction (with bar and street noises mixed in) and a longer instrumental outro where the electric guitar is more soaring and way more up front in the mix, which makes it a bit more rock in the last part of the song. But I cannot find another version on youtube...

^Video does not play for me. This one does:

https://youtu.be/AqZqdSK75H0

It's 3:47 in length if anyone can confirm it's the same version.

^ ...and then, after that concert in the park, you go for a drink at one of those nice bars that has a terrace with a view on the park (this was actually the first one I was thinking of: I stumbled upon it on the radio when I was on a kind of writing retreat in the South of France, in 2000):

Andreas Vollenweider - Behind the gardens, behind the wall, under the tree.
At the age of 15 I saw him playing this live in Hamburg's city park together with my first love. Of course it was summer. Aaaah! Memories...
Such a wonderful summer music... I still love it.

^ That Mermen one is great choice.
^^ I like that Phoenix.
^^^ Today I'm going to a party at a neighbour's house (was Nickelback's drummers house before). They have a heated Koi pond and river that surrounds a Tiki bar. Zona Sul would be perfect music to play at their outdoor, garden bar.
^^^^ I enjoyed Chronixx, reggae I do commonly associate with summer.
^^^^^ As for Soul Sacrifice, I love this Santana track and the Woodstock performance. It's nostalgic for me as I have memories of listening to this.


Already my third, and this is another that came to mind almost immediately when I saw this poll. Of course you don't have to include all of mine, and it's great to have a variety of people.

Les Irrésistibles - My Year Is a Day (1968)



Les Irrésistibles were a 60s to early 70s band of young American males living in France. Wikipedia and Facebook calls them a boy band. They formed as The Sentrys in 1968 and were classmates at the American School of Paris. They gained some notoriety playing covers songs. "MY Year is a Day" was written by William Sheller, whose Lux Aeterna is one of my favourite albums. I really got into this song because it is a bonus track on the CD release I have of Lux Aeterna (great bonus tracks on that). About six or seven summers back, my wife and I took our two kids on a camping trip to Orcas Island, which is one of the San Juan Islands in Washington State. We stayed in Moran State Park. This was my favourite camping trip we have done. It's beautiful there and unlike BC where it so hard to reserve anywhere unless you get in really early, this excellent campsite was easy to get into. Washington is better than BC for such things, commonly less expensive and better facilities generally, and the towns are prettier. Anyway, there is a nice small town on the island with some nice restaurants (best root beer I ever had). And the library lent me a book without me needing a library card or even to be a resident (me not even American) -- all very civilised. And the people in Washington I found to be super friendly and helpful.

On the drive down, I played William Sheller's Lux Aeterna CD including the bonus track "My Year Is a Day". When we arrived at Orcas Island, we went to the grocery store for supplies. To my great surprise, "My Year is a Day" was playing on their stereo. I don't remember hearing it around here. It was a fantastic summer trip and that was a big coincidence, so this is one song that sprung to my mind when I saw this poll that I think of when I think summer.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

I've suggested the Mermen in a previous poll, but what is summer on PA without some progressive-ish surf music. Summer driving music IMO.

Imagine, you're strolling along a white sandy beach... blue water, sunset... and a bit further away you hear this soothing music calling you. So you go to that small cosy tropical bar, get yourself a drink and relax in one of those deck chairs. James Bond passes by, but you don't care: you have your cocktail.

From the album Music for Imaginary Films: Arling & Cameron - Zona Sul (cocktail mix)

Another one from me, a genre that should not be missing here imo. :)

Chronixx ft. Chronicle: Big Bad Sound (off his debut album "Chronology", 2017)

Some time ago, I stopped by one of our remaining record stores and they happened to play some reggae music at the time.

I hadn’t listened to reggae in ages, and I had also lost sight of the genre tbh. They played a track by Chronixx that immediately caught my attention. It wasn’t that old familiar reggae groove, this sounded kinda different and very fresh and current.

Chronixx belongs to the new reggae generation and is one of the main exponents of the so-called 'roots reggae revival movement', which means that these guys go back to the origins of reggae music, but above all the values of Rastafarian philosophy, and interpret the music in a new way. There are different styles, however.

So here is Chronixx, singing a duet with his dad. It is, so to speak, the embodiment of what roots reggae revival is all about. Oh, and have I already mentioned, what a "maad sick riddim" this is, this track immediately makes you wanna dance! How about you, Kees?? Tongue

I haven't, I heard some Dead Combo but it never grabbed me. More recently there's Expresso Transatlântico with a similar vibe but focused on Portuguese guitar. I'm not a fan of the production but they're pretty good live.

For me. Early Santana is summer. One of my favorite clips is from Woodstock in August of 1969. Iconic performance.

Santana - Soul Sacrifice



On the 'Ketchup Song', I had not heard before. It's catchy, but not really sticking with me. It doesn't quite have a hook like the Macarena, Gangnam Style, or others that occupy that space in music.

I had a chance to listen to the three tracks... My impressions

Hermanos Gutiérrez ft. Dan Auerbach: Tres Hermanos: I have heard some Hermanos Gutiérrez before, not that, and like his music. Watching that live performance takes me back to going to one of my old favourite restaurants in Vancouver, which has live music, called The Latin Quarter.

Las Ketchup - Aserejé (The Ketchup Song). Maybe I would like more salsa and less ketchup. Okay, that sounds pretty ignorant. More Flamenco brand mustard and Spanish mayonnaise. It is catchy.

Gala Drop - Sun Gun. I like this a lot.
