Over the past few weeks I’ve been in search for the perfect ‘vibe’. A playlist to be played from golden hour until dark that soundtracks the evening like something out of a cult-classic indie film. With the compiled songs on this 25-track playlist, I think I’ve got pretty close to achieving the sacred ‘vibe’. It consists of music largely released in the last 10-12 years because naturally I’m planning a second playlist with a more nostalgic flavour to it. Anyway, here’s the list:
Claire Rosinkranz – ‘Backyard Boy’
MGMT – ‘Time to Pretend’
Tyler, The Creator – ‘See You Again’ (feat. Kali Uchis)
Mild High Club – ‘Homage’
Gus Dapperton – ‘I’m Just Snacking’
Glass Animals – ‘Heat Waves’
Clairo – ‘4EVER’
A$AP Rocky – ‘Sundress’
Frank Ocean – ‘Pink + White’
Giveon – ‘World We Created’
H.E.R. – ‘Best Part’ (Feat. Daniel Caesar)
The 1975 – ‘If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know)’
Kevin Abstract – ‘Peach’
Yeek – ‘Only in the West’
Crystal Castles, Health – ‘Crimewave’
Steve Lacey – ‘Dark Red’
Blood Orange – ‘Charcoal Baby’
Sabrina Claudio – ‘Belong To You’ (Feat. 6LACK)
SALES – ‘Renee’
King Krul – ‘Easy Easy’
Ariel Pink – ‘Baby’
BROCKHAMPTON – ‘WASTE’
JOJI – ‘YEAH RIGHT’
Beabadoobee, Oscar Lang – ‘The Moon Song’
Wolf Alice – ‘Bros’
And that’s the list. I’ll be making it a Spotify playlist titled ‘Summer Sunset’ if you’re interested, just search for Tom Swindles and go on my playlists (shameless self-promo, yes I am very aware) and you will find it. The best thing about this particular group of songs is that I just know I’ve left some very obvious ones off, meaning anyone is very welcome to fill in the gaps with other songs that sound similar. Enjoy 🙂
