As summer inches closer and closer, the mindsets of the student body morphs from a (somewhat) motivated, organized demeanor to one of longing. Students pine for freedom from this 7:40 to 2:40 chasm of responsibility, and with this the infamous question manifests itself among the youth- what are you doing this summer?
If you are like me, you are probably at a loss, and a little overwhelmed when asked to articulate what your priorities and/or plans are for this break. As clueless as I am about my own intentions are for my post-school life, I do have a pretty good idea of what I will be listening to when I do whatever I do. Music defines the summertime. It can make or break how enchanting your bonfire is, or how delightful your drive to the local Walmart could be. With this in mind, and as a self-certified Person With Great Taste In Summer Jams™, I present my list of top boppin’ albums for this break:
Mac Demarco- This Old Dog
Tame Impala- Currents, Lonerism
Childish Gambino- Kauai
Triathlon- Lo-Tide
A Tribe Called Quest- The Low-End Theory
Grouplove- Spreading Rumors
Red Hot Chili Peppers- Californication
Passion Pit- Kindred
Kendrick Lamar- To Pimp a Butterfly
Beach Fossils- Clash the Truth
