Magdalana Bay - Imagine Disk

Lana Del Rey - Norman f**king Rockwell

Big fan of the Aussie scene at the minute. Royel Otis, Parcels, Spacey Jane are all great for a sunny day

Check out Salarymen if you've not already

Nice list, Torches is a great shout for this. I’d probably add Tame Impala - Currents as well, always feels like a proper summer album to me.

Just so we can agree for once 😉

 

Was thinking of both Greentea Peng albums, but def the first one Man Made.

[Porcelina]

New Bleachers album 

[Quark]

It's a compilation rather than a studio album, but this has reminded me to go back and revisit Dreadzone Presents Dubwiser Volume 1.

 

Controversial maybe, but I'm probably drawn more to dub than reggae in the good weather 😎

I think they are both Great - Underated artist IMO 

[sheffinghell]

An oldie - La Variété by Weekend - or anything light and jazzy

[sheffinghell]

Hot Chip - Coming on Strong 

[The Nal]

Enjoy them while you can.

 

Starts getting dark earlier again in 29 days.

[SPW]

Another vote for New Order's Technique.

 

Brighter Day's Family, Audio Sunrise for something more modern (for an old git like me). Stumbled across them at Luna in Shangri-La last year and some nice, laid back tunes for the garden on a warm evening. 

 

Anything Bob Marley and Linton Kwesi Johnson a personal favourite (Forces Of Victory is one that sits well with a cold cider in the garden as the sun goes down). 

[Ayrshire Chris]

The sun and heat up here has finally appeared. I’ve decided  to listen to  the Cure, the Kinks  and James.  You’ve all done it, headphones on and you don’t realise you’re singing out loud for all to hear it’s Friday I’m in love😊😉❤️

Some of my favourite summer albums:

Come Around Sundown - Kings of Leon

Imploding the Mirage - The Killers

Never Enough - Turnstile

amo - Bring Me The Horizon

Tourist History - Two Door Cinema Club

The New Abnormal - The Strokes

The Suburbs - Arcade Fire

Blue Rev - Alvvays

[Metal Monkey]

The first Blind Melon album. Or Replenish by Reef. 

[Skip997]

The way things are going re weather/climate change, this is the obvious choice 

 

 

 

 

[sfroml]

The Avalanches - Since I Left You.

[Looother]

I never listen to it at any other time, but I often come back to Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps when the weather is good. An album that was released in midsummer when I was too young to have any responsibilities (30 years ago!), and just brings back hazy, blissful, sun-bleached memories.

Vampire Weekened - Self Titles

Max Cooper - On Being

Toots & The Maytals - Funky Kingston

Alaskalaska - The Dotts
