Never Draw So Close to the Heat

Lomo Sunset
“Lomo Sunset” by Marie B.
There’s a point in every summer day just before sunset when the wind picks up and the heat becomes tolerable, tolerable enough to come out from under the shade not worry about sweat or tans or burning. This summer, I climb onto my roof, panels still slightly toasty from the sun, and just sit. It’s my absolute favorite thing to do right now. This interval is what I like to think of when I look back on the season.

  • Ferraby Lionheart – Dear Corinne
    That voice and jangly guitar. So quintessentially folk-pop.
  • St. Vincent and The National – Sleep All Summer
    I’ve never been to New York City in the summer but if I did this is probably what it would be like.
  • Beach House – D.A.R.L.I.N.G.
    The only necessary backing track/band of a sunset on a roof or anywhere at all. Beach House solidly delivers everytime.
  • Joanna Newsom – En Gallop
    An old classic from one of my favorite artists ever.

These are just a few of the songs that come to mind plus an amazing video of Beach House live at The Northcote Uniting Church in Melbourne, Australia performing “Astronaut” under the cut. Enjoy!
