as we reach the middle of the week, weve got yet another excellent song to get you into the spirit of summer. since its now mid august, its important that you get into the spirit of summer now, because time is quickly running out, even though summer doesnt technically end for a little over a month. then comes fall. then comes winter/hibernation/becoming a hermit. todays summer song is “seasun” by delorean. a quick google search would turn up a few different groups with this name, but the link above is to the myspace of the one im referring to. the group is from barcelona and has been around for a few years but are starting to get some attention in the US (despite popularity abroad) with their most recent release, the excellent and exciting ayrton senna EP.
besides the name (the obvious connection to summer), i think just one listen will explain why this is a total summer jam. it begins with a little bit of buildup before the song really breaks into its light and airy theme backed up by a nice high tempo electronic beat. as the song continues to expand, more sounds are almost unnoticably added in, and then after a bit of a break to collect your thoughts, the vocals really come into play and the buildup begins all over again and right around the 3:15 mark the beat really comes back in and the rest of the tune is high powered and huge while still playing off that lo-fi cloudy sound. and i have to mention that i completely agree with pitchfork in that this version, the original, is much more fun and upbeat than the “dance remix”. funny how that works out. the rest of the ayrton senna ep is pretty excellent as well and a good listen for all. i can only hope that we will be hearing a lot more from delorean in the years to come here in the states.
