Songs of the Week 367: July 3 – July 9

#5. Gang of Youths – Forbearance (Alternate)

This is my perfect “Sunday morning with a cup of coffee and a crossword” type track. Floats along in the background, undisruptive, but pleasant enough to keep your ears.


#4. Susanne Davis – So High

It’s a hard week to rank the remaining songs, as they all are equally great in my mind. We’ll start off with Susanne Davis, who is a total mystery to me. I don’t actually know if that image is the artist in question. There’s no soundcloud to speak of. But what a groovy, mesmerizing track.


#3. Jesse Mac Cormack – No Love Go

The more I listen to Jesse’s discography, the more impressed I am with the quality and depth of his work.


#2. Mansionair – A Little Lost

https://soundcloud.com/mansions-2

Another artist who I come back to anytime I hear they have new stuff and expect there’ll be something I like. Classic Mansionair sound here. They always remind me of a crossover between The Boxer Rebellion and Two Door Cinema Club (who happen to be two of my favorite bands ever).


#1. Congee – Forever

When I had to pick a track out of those four for the top spot, I went with the one that has been most stuck in my head. The pounding synths of the chorus gets me everytime.
