Well, this is the third summer playlist we’ve done, and at time of writing a month’s worth of rain is falling in the space of 24 hours over much of the UK. At this point, you’re better off just listening to this playlist, closing your eyes, and going to your happy place.

This ‘summer’ playlist comes from our good Canadian pals Bravestation, whose debut album Giants & Dreamers – and this even makes this article worth publishing – is only days away from release, and can be streamed in full over on their Soundcloud page. It’s really good.

Anyway, enjoy the playlist and enjoy Bravestation‘s album. By the end of August we will have given you a summer playlist on a day when it actually feels like summer. Promise.

(The list also includes Classixx‘s ‘Fingerpaint-Lunar’, which isn’t available on Spotify, but is up on Soundcloud here)
