July Finds: PUYL July 2014

I realize that August is almost over, but I never shared my July Soundcloud playlist and there was too much goodness going on to skip over it entirely.

It's both fascinating and alarming how quickly music gets imprinted in a certain timeframe. Looking back at these songs as I write this post, I can't help but reminisce on the times I was listening to them, but that was only a couple weeks ago. I've already compartmentalized this set into a bygone time. It's simply a function of the way music is shared these days; for every good song I find, ten more are in in production and being released. There is precious sweet time to savor tunes when they drop, but then it's on to the next one. Hopefully these collections serve as a snapshot that can be revisited and remembered fondly.

Highlights:

  • Rubblebucket takes us on a rousing "Carousel Ride"
  • Song of the Summer candidate and Degrassi nod, "Fiona Coyne" is poured on us by Saint Pepsi
  • MisterWives gets remixed with fantastic results
  • New Lil Silva
  • New BANKS
  • New Lil Silva featuring BANKS (they're touring together)
  • Song of the Year candidate "Lemonade" slides into our ears from the boundary pushing SOPHIE
  • A collab and a remix involving Danny Brown prove why he's one of the most versatile rappers in the game right now. His raps cannot be contained in just one genre.
