Something about when it starts getting really hot makes me wanna listen to very specific types of music: MPB, JùjĆŗ, Highlife, Yacht Rock⦠but my go-to late Spring/early-Summer music vibe has been ā90s/early ā00s twee pop, specifically Tiger Trap, Gaze, Cub and Brittle Stars. None of these bands are new to me, but Iāve been revisiting their music a lot lately. Thereās a rudimentary innocence to all of their music that really inspires and comforts me. Plus some of it just feels really punk to me ā namely Tiger Trap. I love Tiger Trapās one-and-only album from 1993, Gazeās Shake the Pounce, Cubās Betti Cola, and literally anything by Brittle Stars.
