Brave New Faves

Telethon - Positively Clark Street - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SS8Hvx30A8 - It's 39C here, so this song about how sunshine and summer kinda sucks a bit sometimes and it'd be really nice if it just rained a bit, really resonates.

ALL HANDS_MAKE_LIGHT - We Live On A Fucking Planet And Baby That's The Sun | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmdWMNoi6gk&rco=1 | About the title, singer Ariel Engle says 'One morning I woke at dawn, sat up like a bolt, and heard myself say those words. I could see the halo of orange pink light cut into the last of the night. The lyric is about the uncanniness of living on a sphere.'

World News - Sunshine - https://worldnewsband.bandcamp.com/track/sunshine - Looking through my recently liked songs, I stumbled across thislike 6 songs back. Amazing synchronicity. Have been really liking this band. despite being modern and from the UK, they have a weirdly 80s australian sound, which I have always loved.

Jamie Cullum - Catch the Sun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE7VruBqr0o I can't decide whether this song is uplifting or depressing, but either way it's beautiful.

"White Sands" by Tommy Guerrero - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAHjDgtYTiI&list=RDAAHjDgtYTiI - Feels like driving through a featureless desert under a merciless sun, which definitely fits the album art

Gerard Way - How It's Going To Be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d1XGMLKX-8 A lesser played track from MCR frontman Gerard Way's solo project, Hesitant Alien. The whole album's a wistful, sunny, fuzz-rock masterpiece imo, and thoroughly underappreciated.

Barrage - Until We Meet Again | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gczfZGVsDrM | Barrage is an all-strings group in the style of Stomp. This is a reworking of the well-known Irish Blessing into a beautiful song. May it lighten your days.

snake pool - sundog [3:33]. My favorite song from this group containing noted internet artist louie zong! Has a very good vocal texture that may not be the strongest case of giving your vocall but it's given a powerful digital boost to get it down the last mile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_UGMUTHt2k

Atmosphere - Sunshine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AckhnLpwceM | I openly admit I'm just finding something on the fly that sounds neat to me... apparently the YT page says the video was made using 100% solar power

let’s go literal, when Graham was covering, we discussed our shared love of hip hop collaborative Handsome Boy Modeling School. This is “Sunshine”, which isn’t very hip hop and has Sean Lennon on vocals. https://youtu.be/7zN_enSm0Ik?si=K9dxBFyFzXEB1diQ

Crowded House - Distant Sun (1993 - 3:50 ) - The prompt “Sunshine” puts me straight onto some guitar pop from that Australasian band who are always going on about the weather. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDwTTOi8NaA

Morningsiders - Cement and Sunshine | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGZ1geq5deo | This has been on my vibes/wakeup playlist for a while now, very chill, I have no idea how to describe music but spotify calls them folk-pop.

Demilich - When the Sun Drank the Weight of Water https://youtu.be/DNtunad3skE?si=8dSYM-5wOXEpamwM | possibly divisive, but I prefer this growl-turned-demon belch to a lot of metal vocals

Beach Boys- Good Vibrations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ-UFKxDq5o when talking about songs with Sunny vibes, it's hard not to include the Beach Boys. A shout out and a RIP to Co-Founder Brian Wilson who we unfortunately lost last month and who was every bit as good a songwriting innovator as his Beatles rivals and contemporaries

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-It0gUj-B0c | As Sure As The Sun - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club | Some psychedelic rock vibes with a low-fi sound, this track mixes a slow and steady groove with energetic guitar work and languorous vocals, its vintage vibe scratches a certain itch

Fred Frith - Before Sunrise Fred Frith is an Avant-garde guitarist often connected to the Tzadek label, and oft colaborating with other musicians in that world of music. This track, off the 1997 compilation album of songs written for films, definitely falls into that more experimental side of music. (That said, it didn't end up being used in the film it was written for) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeHPBxheIZs

Bedbug - Sunset (Finale) This is a very cozy bedroom mid-west emo song that would feel right at home in a coming of age film. It has a sweet sadness but to me feels hopeful and soft. https://youtu.be/GG_XdENyEL8?si=kcZKa-yYT-CC1tG3
