Dungen: Skit I Allt (Mexican Summer)

Dungen: Skit I Allt (Mexican Summer) - Apparently "Skit I Allt" is Svenska for "Fuck All." Lost is the translation was the connotation of party till dawn. Swedish quartet Dungen illuminate a swirl of effervescent psychedelia that ebbs from progressive rock to folk, pop and breezy jazz. They mesh flute, organ and strings with rock elements for a sound that's both nostalgic and fresh. Recommended. Play 2 3 5 7 8

Best Coast: Crazy for You (Mexican Summer)

Best Coast: Crazy for You (Mexican Summer) - California duo Best Coast (Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno) craft straight-ahead pop that draws on girl groups, garage rock, doo wop and grunge. Cosentino's diary laced lyrics are ripe with feelings of wistful longing and sadness that’s balanced by warm harmonies, distortion and reverb. Who hasn't wished their cat could talk and they had a bunch of weed for comfort? There's something about the summer, indeed. Recommended. Play 1 2 4 5 8 9 13
