Disclaimer: In blog-time, these songs are old. Ranging from a week to a month old, these songs are probably old news to the Stereogum-scourerers out there. Sorry for the repetition, but these songs just aren't meant to be missed.
Well, I should temper that with another disclaimer. 2/3 of these songs may be meant to be missed if you're not into the laid-back delivery of Kid Cudi or the summery echoes of Best Coast. The (probably) new Kid Cudi track is the usual stoner flow from the Cudster, with the usual indie skinny jeans and Brooklyn references. Best Coast's "Summer Mood" is pretty self-descriptive - like the rest of the band's debut album, it is a shimmery, airy pop snippet that clocks in well under three minutes.
These two laid-back styles, though, become hot fire when combined on the Converse-sponsored and Rostam-from-Vampire-Weekend-assisted "All Summer." This song is awesome, the right combination of chill and chill, amped up with a little grind to create something eminently replayable. Pretty much meant for soundtracks and pool parties.
