After a few months of not having a website, Aural Wes is back! There’s no better way to say that Aural Wes is back than a Weekly Track Round Up! Our theme this week is hammock vibes. We’re just trying to enjoy this sweater weather here.
I Just Called to Say I Love You - Stevie Wonder
It’s reflective and corny. I feel like you can’t take urself too seriously while swinging in a hammock
-Terry Brannigan
telepatía // acoustic - Kali Uchis
How could you not vibe to this song in a hammock? The beach background noise, soulful trumpets and angelic vocals are perfect for closing your eyes and kicking back.
-Nolan Lewis
Anybody Else - spill tab
i just am bb. what can i say it's a slapper. the cover is orange. what more could u want
-Cassandra
Reflecting Light - Sam Phillips
This song is kind of about the feeling of peace you get after going through a rough time, and I feel like a hammock is a good place to be after getting through a rough time.
-Jake Gale
Prester John - Animal Collective
Animal Collective’s newest single is relaxed and beautiful, definitely meant to be enjoyed outside. Appreciate their nature-inspired sounds while appreciating the sounds around you :)
-Mia Kurta
Reflecting Lights - The Field
looking over a pitch black andrus field after sunset and gazing at stars that aren’t here anymore. feeling a breeze at one foot off the ground. letting that looping thump lift me above everything, up and up and up… i’ll be ok
-Max Levin
Miracles - Jefferson Starship
It takes you to a place of wistful memory. I find myself thinking about fleeting moments from years ago. Perfect for a calm day on a hammock.
-Aaron Goldman
Change - Big Thief
Change is hopeful, yet melancholy; its vivid imagery is perfect for the changing season.
-Giovanna Vitale
Shoulders - Big Thief
There’s just somethin about Big Thief and hammocks I guess. This album came out in the fall and this song just always stuck with me. It’s so dreamy and makes me think of sitting in a hammock with an iced coffee in a cozy sweater.
-Jacob Maren
Anywhere - Hope Tala
pining after your crush sitting on a hammock imagining you don't have class in an hour and the sun is setting at 6pm
-Nya Santeliz
Suddenly - Drug Dealer, Weyes Blood
This song is a ray of sunshine in your face. The sweet saxophone, Weyes Blood's soothing voice, the bass line performed by Ariel Pink, and constant breakdown and rebuilding of the song make it so hammock-worthy.
-Lauren Muchowski
Day In, Day Out - JR JR
This song is so groovy it makes me feel like I’m swaying from side to side in a hammock, and the lyrics are simple but sweet.
-Anna Trecker
Halloween - Phoebe Bridgers
Much of Phoebe Bridgers is largely hammock music by definition, but especially Halloween, because it’s y’know October.
-Charlie
You Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will - Bright Eyes
i listen to this song at that time of day when everything is golden and you can feel the sun and just put music on and feel good. total hammock energy.
-Phoebe Stein
Reach Out - Sufjan Stevens, Angelo de Augustine
There are acoustic guitars! It’s rhythmic and calming! It feels like the wind is blowing gently while you rock back and forth in a hammock!
-Sam
Blonde In The Bleachers - Joni Mitchell
Beautiful song with a melodic piano line, it makes me think of falling leaves
- Ben Togut
