Mevio Music

Hey, Party People! There’s nothing like some cool new tunes to make the summer heat more manageable. So, this week’s Top 5 Music Countdown is dedicated to hot and sticky summertime music. That’s right, I handpicked my five favorite recently released albums just for you and your pure, unadulterated listening pleasure!

5. Mos Def – “The Ecstatic“

Mos Def dropped “The Ecstatic” back in June – possibly his best album since 1999′s Black on Both Sides. Deep, dense and spooky at times but definitely takes a few listens to crack. The high points on the album IMHO are ‘Life in Marvelous Times’, ‘Quiet Dog Bite Hard’ and ‘Casa Bey’.

4. Junior Boys – “Begone Dull Care“

The latest release from electro-pop masters Junior Boys hit the shelves in April of this year. OK, yeah. Technically this one came out in Spring, but who’s got the time to fuss about seasons? This album is good, clean electro synthy pop you can listen to with your mom. If you’ve had steamy love affairs with groups like Hot Chip, The Rapture, The Knife, M83 and/or Royksopp you’ll dig Junior Boys. I do, and I take pride in my music choices. Track ‘Dull to Pause’ takes my breath away!

3. Yacht – “See Mystery Lights“

Yacht’s “See Mystery Lights” is a quintessential summery album, released in the squelching heat of July. This duo is alternative and unusual. Their sound is poppy and electronic with lotsa cowbell! It’s equally compelling to listen to while chillin’ at the hizzy or getting down and dirty on the dance floor!

And speaking of getting freaky on the dance floor, you need some proper dancing shoes! How about a sweet new pair of Chuck Taylors? If Michael Butler rocks them, so can you!– just go to EastBay.com and use my kick-ass codes!

2. Amanda Blank – “I Love You“

Alright, now for some white girl rapper action — you know you want it! Well, Amanda Blank’s debut album “I Love You” just dropped this month and it’s rappy and raunchy goodness. And who doesn’t appreciate a little potty mouth from time to time? It’s just what you need if you’ve exhausted and overplayed your favorite Santigold, Peaches and MIA albums — it’s a great mix of new wave, hip-hop and electro styles.

1. The Dead Weather – “Horehound“

And finally, rocking it at the #1 spot is my boyfriend Jack White’s (hands off!) latest collaboration – The Dead Weather. That’s right, Jackie Boy has a new venture chock full of rockstar power: Alison Mosshart from The Kills, Jack Lawrence of The Raconteurs, Dean Fertita from Queens of the Stone Age. This time Jack is on drums, SWOON!
