Don't go to that 'Merica BBQ this weekend without an up to date playlist and get caught with your pants at yer ankles when it's your turn on the Jawbone bros. Remember: The Jawbone is life. The life, it is the bone of jaws.
BUT before you make that playlist we have some reccomendations. And we've organized them into individual trapper keepers for your earholes bros.
Below are our favorite tracks from the second quarter of 2015. Check them out. Deem them worthy or not, you pieces of shitz. You can stream everything below via the minilogs. Enjoy.
Joel Frieders
5. Lord Huron - La Belle Fleur Savage: This strange sense of nostalgia isn't unintentional, Lord Huron makes everything sound like it happened at your Nana's bro. Gorgeous.
4. Maribou State - Wallflower: I'm a puddle of shoulder-twitching joy when that vocal sample drops in. Fuck.
3. Blueprint - Black Intellectual: When the raps cease and the beat gets a'clappin', I'm done.
2. Cities - Frontier Light: This is the chase scene I play in my head where I'm crawling away from a 10 month old child who won't stop giggling.
1. Jamie xx - Loud Places: THE CHORUS. OH GOD. THE fucking CHORUS. I WANT TO HUG MYSELF FOR THE REST OF FOREVER.
Brandon Backhaus
5. DVS* - Hashu feat. Stév: Go lay on the hood of your car at night and look up and feel how beautiful your life really is.
4. Jamie xx - Gosh: Just that ragga break alone made me love everything about this next level record. Add subs? I came.
3. The 45s - California: Just the next "I live in the place that you wish you did" anthem to fall in love with.
2. Astronautalis - Papillon: Left off his next record, but thankfully released as a stand alone single. Salvation found. Amen.
1. Sister Crayon - Ride or Die: Goddamn, I can't even tell you how much I love this song and am embarrassed to admit how many times I've played it. Chills.
Tom Doz
5. Sorority Noise - Art School Wannabe: I like the message of this song because it preaches the wiping off of pretentiousness...and it does it with a joyful and unforgiving vibe that most pretentious people would hate. If a song makes you feel good; don't fight it. Embrace it.
4. Alabama Shakes - Gimmie All Your Love: The fact that this song (and album) sound so fucking fantastic sonically allow it to do more to your ears than normal. Case and point: the explosion in the chorus with that roll of the organ flatten you into the ground Wylie coyote style.
3. Tallest Man On Earth - Fields Of Our Home: The way this song builds into a haunting out-pouring of feelz that kicks me in the grundle butter.
2. Palace - Kiloran: This is my best random find of the quarter. That chiming lead guitar that sporadically follows the melody of the vocals is like your shadow that starts moon walking every-time you look away.
1. Banditos - Old Ways: Oh gawd. I can't get enough of this song. The energy. The intensity. The emotion. One of the best tracks of the year.
