Van Morrison drops "Brown Eyed Girl" like it already owns.
Pete Christianson
The Beatles and "Love Me Do - Remastered" land like a fresh 2009 single.
While you clear your desk and dodge traffic.
The track snaps with dry guitars and a propulsive backbeat.
The vocals come in bright and a little rough-edged.
The Beach Boys are on the radio with I Get Around.
The beat hits with handclaps and raw shouts.
The Champs and Tequila hit like a prank with perfect timing: it is.
The piano comes in hard and fast, all bright attack and shaking low-end.
The remaster gives the track a cleaner snap: bright guitars.
The remastered cut keeps the edges sharp, so the whole thing.
The drums stay lean and punchy, so the whole thing barrels forward.
The mix comes in with a hard organ stab and punchy drums.
If your summer needs one song that cuts through the static, this is it.
My favorite Indie Rock songs from the past year.
Paid-only
For a walk to the corner store and a backyard drink.
Every hook arrives polished but playful.
While you dodge emails and crack the windows.
A late-afternoon walk, a cheap beer, or the kind of rainy commute.
The Tender Box and “Beautiful Sin” land like a fresh obsession: sleek.
