SHHHHHHHMELLO.
Last Glazed Over of JUNE 🫠. First summer month is gone already. I feel like I wait for summer to start EVERY year, but then time speeds up on me and its ends before I can do all the fun stuff I daydreamed about doing while it was cold. I NEED TO HAVE A GOOD SUMMER OR ELSE 🤌🤌🤌
Speaking of summer in New Jersey, one of my favorite favies, Lightheaded, has a new EP on Slumberland Records. This music is good all year round but it is perfect for drivin’ around NJ/NY in the heat, especially while my dog Bruce is with me and he’s got his head out the window catching a breeze.
This album reeled me in with cat themes but I stayed for the Cocteau Twins vibes.
I have be WAITING for this album. Brìghde Chaimbeul’s (pronounced Breech-huh Campbell according to her website!) new album melted my brain. I could honestly just listen to her play one note but there are way more (sometimes you gotta wait a bit though). I wasn’t familiar with Scottish smallpipes before finding her music but now I can’t LIVE without them.
There really is a TON of really good stuff on the list this week, so definitely check it all out. I was able to find most of it on Spotify and added it to the June playlist below:
