Yeah if it was May 2014, I’d be rec’ing not caring about your senior year finals, having a doubles partner in tennis that makes you laugh so hard you lose entire matches, riding in the beds of pickup trucks, listening to Alt-J and Wavves.
By June it would be: wearing a bathing suite out to every party, and ending up in a pool. By August: camping in Montauk and The Rolling Stones’ Moonlight Mile. By October: the Front Bottoms, Vulpeck’s My New Car, autumn in New England.
By December: drawing with charcoal and listening to Julian Casablancas’s Phrazes for the Young, but as a Christmas album 🎄

such a tender and fun time... could just be looped in with that era of indie rock but there was something so distinct about it (twee? sparkly? childlike? maybe that's my own perception of its influence on me at the time?) someone still loves you boris yeltsin, freelance whales, clap your hands say yeah, midlake, islands, rogue wave, throw me the statue ETC!!!! i feel like i'm puking at homecoming bc my ex bf is grinding with my best friend and i am going home to burn a CD about it!!!!!

1 of 2 albums I can think of at the top of my mind that I listened to in its entirety. This takes me back to that summer in 2013 when I was listening to this album non-stop along w some indie songs I discovered thru 8tracks (I don’t know if anyone else will know this site, it was a gem). Also it was the time of my life I was just getting to know freedom from being able to travel solo and/or w friends or just discovering life. Akin to a coming-of-age movie. 😅 I don’t know if I make sense.
