It’s been a while since I fell in love with an indie rock band, but Virginia’s Eternal Summers have me totally crushed out. They play unpretentious jangle pop that makes you feel really good about feeling sad. The Lurid Pictures–directed video for “Never Enough” is the indie-rock version of Mark Romanek’s video for Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” depicting Eternal Summers out of their element as a Mumford-y newgrass band, a Kraftwerk-inspired synth-noir group, and playing a basement show as a black metal group, before a final showdown in the forest. This is a perfect song to listen to on repeat while willing summer to turn into fall.

Big Data ft. Joywave, “Dangerous”

This song is a few months old, but its data-paranoid message feels especially relevant this week! With an incredibly creepy/funny video.
