Our Summer Soundtrack series returns with ten new tracks. Usually we do this before going on a summer break, and although this year University Post won\u2019t be back after the summer, we still wanted to share some warmth and sunshine in the form of good music with you!<\/p>\n

10. Ra Ra Riot – Water<\/h2>\n

Although only a couple weeks in, this summer has already been very tough on students. Nobody enjoys being buried in books or writing lengthy projects when it\u2019s +25 degrees outside and the sunshine sneaks into every window as a painful reminder that you\u2019re inside instead of lying on the beach. If you feel like you can\u2019t take it any more, let this song be your inspiration – So I crawled out of the back door \/ Took off all these tight clothes \/ Jumped into the water<\/em> \u2013 sings Wes Miles from the American indie rock outfit Ra Ra Riot<\/a>, and I encourage you to be as naughty as him and give yourself a little break and go for a relaxing swim.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Y-cxevaA-38 width:432 height:324 align:center]\n

9. DIIV \u2013 Dopamine<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re looking for sunny tunes, Brooklyn shoegazers DIIV<\/a> will never let you down. Filled with woozy guitars and laid-back rhythms, their melodies are perfect for chilling in the sun and enjoying life. If this song tickles your fancy, then you should also check out their new sophomore album Is the Is Are<\/em>.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H_9uS39YHyQ width:432 height:324 align:center]\n

8. Japanese Breakfast \u2013 In Heaven<\/h2>\n

Even though In Heaven<\/em> is a song about death, you would never guess it from the upbeat melody and the dreamy chorus with Michelle Zauner\u2019s vocals soaring high. Together it makes for a great life-affirming track that makes you want to throw your hands up high, breathe in the fresh air, and fall in love with the world again. Japanese Breakfast<\/a> is definitely a band to look out for, as their recently released full-length record is one of the most promising debuts of the year so far.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hOsLEKnbl7I width:432 height:324 align:center]\n

7. Chairlift \u2013 Moth to the Flame<\/h2>\n

Chairlift\u2019s<\/a> new album Moth<\/em> sees the Brooklyn duo turn to a more mainstream pop sound, which is not necessarily a bad thing because it lets them attract a wider audience to their intricate and melodic tunes, and Moth to the Flame<\/em> is a perfect example of that. It has all the necessary ingredients of a slick pop song \u2013 a love theme, a beat that will make you dance from the moment you hear it, a cathartic chorus, and most importantly \u2013 amazing vocals. I suggest you put this on at your next summer party!<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8QfUuVyJlbg width:432 height:324 align:center]\n

6. Animal Collective \u2013 FloriDada<\/h2>\n

One thing is for sure \u2013 you will never get bored with the eccentric Animal Collective<\/a>. These crazy American lads never stop experimenting with music and visuals, so if pure fun and a quick trip to another dimension is what you\u2019re looking for, then put on FloriDada<\/em> and just keep on dancing, and dancing, and dancing, and dancing. <\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cuoIvNFUY7I width:432 height:324 align:center]\n

5. The 1975 \u2013 The Sound<\/h2>\n

Somewhere between genre-bending and guilty pleasure lies the British four-piece The 1975<\/a>. It\u2019s quite amazing how they manage to mix so many genres in just a single song or throughout an album, and still make the whole thing cohesive, but at the same time they\u2019re also a band that many love to hate. The video for The Sound<\/em> laughs about this matter in a very self-ironic way, while the song itself is an ultimate dance tune that has festival crowds jumping in unison already. This might easily become one of The 1975\u2019s biggest hits, so enjoy it while it\u2019s on the rise.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FSnAllHtG70 width:432 height:324 align:center]\n

4. Chance the Rapper feat. 2 Chainz & Lil Wayne \u2013 No Problem<\/h2>\n

The freshest tune on this list comes from Chicago\u2019s very own Chance the Rapper<\/a>, who has delivered his latest bouncy single No Problem<\/em> just in time for the summer. Although Chance has already built a strong fan base and caught the attention of many music industry professionals, he refuses to sign with a record label and keeps on releasing one great mixtape after another independently. His desire to keep it this way comes through loud and clear on this track, as he threatens record labels with some trouble if they don\u2019t let him be. A commendable message with great beats that will make you bounce on your bike.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DVkkYlQNmbc width:432 height:324 align:center]\n

3. Niki & the Dove \u2013 So Much It Hurts<\/h2>\n

Summer isn\u2019t just about sunshine; it\u2019s also about those warm summer nights when you don\u2019t feel like coming home because the city seems so romantic, and you just can\u2019t get enough of it. That\u2019s when the Swedish duo\u2019s single So Much It Hurts<\/em> becomes a great companion. It\u2019s unbelievably authentic 80\u2019s sound creates a great soundscape for a walk in the dark, while the chorus is so catchy you\u2019ll still be humming it long after the walk\u2019s over.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=abHqD3RRdk8 width:432 height:324 align:center]\n

2. The Range \u2013 Florida<\/h2>\n

While you\u2019re still on that midnight stroll, don\u2019t forget to play this baby as well. The Range<\/a> a.k.a. James Hinton is a very talented Brooklyn-based producer, who spends ages on YouTube searching for perfect samples that convey a peculiar feeling. For example, who would have thought that a random a capella cover of Ariana Grande<\/em>\u2019s You\u2019ll Never Know<\/em> could turn into this sizzling electronic beauty inspired by dubstep and hip-hop? Makes you appreciate attention to detail even more.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4aqb7MFivis width:432 height:324 align:center]\n

1. Bandmaster \u2013 Us<\/h2>\n

To top it all off, here\u2019s another \u2018summer in the city\u2019 type of song that comes all the way from Latvia, and perfectly captures that warm summer feeling. The track also goes hand in hand with the visuals that capture Riga, the capital of Latvia, from a bird\u2019s point of view and feature some bike delivery guys that make the city their own playground. Although Bandmaster<\/a> is still quite new, they\u2019re getting better with each single, so, who knows, maybe after releasing their debut album, you\u2019ll hear more about these guys beyond their home country?<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=F2aUJes_i5k width:432 height:324 align:center]\n

Summer Soundtrack series returns with ten new tracks. Usually we do this before going on a summer break, and although this year University Post won\u2019t be back after the summer, we still wanted to share some warmth and sunshine in the form of good music with you!<\/p>\n<h2>10. Ra Ra Riot – Water<\/h2>\n<p>Although only a couple weeks in, this summer has already been very tough on students. Nobody enjoys being buried in books or writing lengthy projects when it\u2019s +25 degrees outside and the sunshine sneaks into every window as a painful reminder that you\u2019re inside instead of lying on the beach. If you feel like you can\u2019t take it any more, let this song be your inspiration – <em>So I crawled out of the back door \/ Took off all these tight clothes \/ Jumped into the water<\/em> \u2013 sings Wes Miles from the American indie rock outfit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rarariot\/\" target=\"blank\">Ra Ra Riot<\/a>, and I encourage you to be as naughty as him and give yourself a little break and go for a relaxing swim.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Y-cxevaA-38 width:432 height:324 align:center]\n<h2>9. DIIV \u2013 Dopamine<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for sunny tunes, Brooklyn shoegazers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/diivnyc\/\" target=\"blank\">DIIV<\/a> will never let you down. Filled with woozy guitars and laid-back rhythms, their melodies are perfect for chilling in the sun and enjoying life. If this song tickles your fancy, then you should also check out their new sophomore album <em>Is the Is Are<\/em>.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H_9uS39YHyQ width:432 height:324 align:center]\n<h2>8. Japanese Breakfast \u2013 In Heaven<\/h2>\n<p>Even though <em>In Heaven<\/em> is a song about death, you would never guess it from the upbeat melody and the dreamy chorus with Michelle Zauner\u2019s vocals soaring high. Together it makes for a great life-affirming track that makes you want to throw your hands up high, breathe in the fresh air, and fall in love with the world again. <a href=\"https:\/\/michellezauner.bandcamp.com\/\">Japanese Breakfast<\/a> is definitely a band to look out for, as their recently released full-length record is one of the most promising debuts of the year so far.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hOsLEKnbl7I width:432 height:324 align:center]\n<h2>7. Chairlift \u2013 Moth to the Flame<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/chairlift\/\" target=\"blank\">Chairlift\u2019s<\/a> new album <em>Moth<\/em> sees the Brooklyn duo turn to a more mainstream pop sound, which is not necessarily a bad thing because it lets them attract a wider audience to their intricate and melodic tunes, and <em>Moth to the Flame<\/em> is a perfect example of that. It has all the necessary ingredients of a slick pop song \u2013 a love theme, a beat that will make you dance from the moment you hear it, a cathartic chorus, and most importantly \u2013 amazing vocals. I suggest you put this on at your next summer party!<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8QfUuVyJlbg width:432 height:324 align:center]\n<h2>6. Animal Collective \u2013 FloriDada<\/h2>\n<p>One thing is for sure \u2013 you will never get bored with the eccentric <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/anmlcollective\/\" target=\"blank\">Animal Collective<\/a>. These crazy American lads never stop experimenting with music and visuals, so if pure fun and a quick trip to another dimension is what you\u2019re looking for, then put on <em>FloriDada<\/em> and just keep on dancing, and dancing, and dancing, and dancing. <\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cuoIvNFUY7I width:432 height:324 align:center]\n<h2>5. The 1975 \u2013 The Sound<\/h2>\n<p>Somewhere between genre-bending and guilty pleasure lies the British four-piece <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/the1975\" target=\"blank\">The 1975<\/a>. It\u2019s quite amazing how they manage to mix so many genres in just a single song or throughout an album, and still make the whole thing cohesive, but at the same time they\u2019re also a band that many love to hate. The video for <em>The Sound<\/em> laughs about this matter in a very self-ironic way, while the song itself is an ultimate dance tune that has festival crowds jumping in unison already. This might easily become one of The 1975\u2019s biggest hits, so enjoy it while it\u2019s on the rise.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FSnAllHtG70 width:432 height:324 align:center]\n<h2>4. Chance the Rapper feat. 2 Chainz & Lil Wayne \u2013 No Problem<\/h2>\n<p>The freshest tune on this list comes from Chicago\u2019s very own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/chancetherapper\/\" target=\"blank\">Chance the Rapper<\/a>, who has delivered his latest bouncy single <em>No Problem<\/em> just in time for the summer. Although Chance has already built a strong fan base and caught the attention of many music industry professionals, he refuses to sign with a record label and keeps on releasing one great mixtape after another independently. His desire to keep it this way comes through loud and clear on this track, as he threatens record labels with some trouble if they don\u2019t let him be. A commendable message with great beats that will make you bounce on your bike.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DVkkYlQNmbc width:432 height:324 align:center]\n<h2>3. Niki & the Dove \u2013 So Much It Hurts<\/h2>\n<p>Summer isn\u2019t just about sunshine; it\u2019s also about those warm summer nights when you don\u2019t feel like coming home because the city seems so romantic, and you just can\u2019t get enough of it. That\u2019s when the Swedish duo\u2019s single <em>So Much It Hurts<\/em> becomes a great companion. It\u2019s unbelievably authentic 80\u2019s sound creates a great soundscape for a walk in the dark, while the chorus is so catchy you\u2019ll still be humming it long after the walk\u2019s over.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=abHqD3RRdk8 width:432 height:324 align:center]\n<h2>2. The Range \u2013 Florida<\/h2>\n<p>While you\u2019re still on that midnight stroll, don\u2019t forget to play this baby as well. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/therangemusic\/\" target=\"blank\">The Range<\/a> a.k.a. James Hinton is a very talented Brooklyn-based producer, who spends ages on YouTube searching for perfect samples that convey a peculiar feeling. For example, who would have thought that a random a capella cover of <em>Ariana Grande<\/em>\u2019s <em>You\u2019ll Never Know<\/em> could turn into this sizzling electronic beauty inspired by dubstep and hip-hop? Makes you appreciate attention to detail even more.<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4aqb7MFivis width:432 height:324 align:center]\n<h2>1. Bandmaster \u2013 Us<\/h2>\n<p>To top it all off, here\u2019s another \u2018summer in the city\u2019 type of song that comes all the way from Latvia, and perfectly captures that warm summer feeling. The track also goes hand in hand with the visuals that capture Riga, the capital of Latvia, from a bird\u2019s point of view and feature some bike delivery guys that make the city their own playground. Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bandmastersound\" target=\"blank\">Bandmaster<\/a> is still quite new, they\u2019re getting better with each single, so, who knows, maybe after releasing their debut album, you\u2019ll hear more about these guys beyond their home country?<\/p>\n[video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=F2aUJes_i5k width:432 height:324 align:center]\n<p>universitypost@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you have a good story?
