It's (basically) summertime and that means it's time for lazy weekend afternoons lolling around in your room in your underwear with the windows wide open and music blasting. Okay, maybe that's a more specific summer tradition, but I'm pretty sure the vibe is universal. It's about chilling and not giving a fuck and it requires a very specific soundtrack. For all your semi-nude summer vibing, I humbly suggest basically every track on Seeds by TV on the Radio.
All of the songs on this record - upbeat or relaxed, aggressive or tender - are great for hanging out by yourself in the summer. It's not the same as a Summer Jam. Summer Jams are for singing with your friends while you roadtrip with the windows down, or walk home from the bar, or laze around in the grass on a weekend morning. Seeds is a private summer pleasure, like sprawling out on your bed and just watching the afternoon sun creep across the sheets.
Like I said, pretty much any of the tracks work for this vibe. For upbeat, I'd suggest "Winter." For a more low-key vibe, I'd suggest either of my favorite tracks on the album: either "Trouble," or this week's jam: "Careful You."
