Although we’ve yet to see what summer ’19 will bring in terms of Portland-made tunes, here’s some great summer-vibed songs that should already be on your sunny-day playlist.
Reptaliens, “Venetian Blinds”
“Easy, breezy, beautiful” is the slogan of a popular cosmetics brand, but also the vibe of Reptaliens’ new record, Valis. Standout track “Venetian Blinds” is the right thing to blast when you’re driving back from the beach with all the windows down, warm wind blowing through your hair and golden light making everything look a little bit magical. When frontwoman Bambi Browning coos, “Nothing’s gonna change/Nothing’s ever gonna change,” it feels like a spell to make summer last forever. CIARA DOLAN
