10. Push + Pull // July Talk
July Talk always delivers tunes. They find harmony between Peter’s gravelly growl and Leah’s soft purr. While July Talk has not released an album since 2013, a sophomore record is on its way, to the delight of many of their fans. Push + Pull is listeners’ first taste as the music that is to come from this group later in the year, and it certainly has our hopes up. While the song has you catapulted in the a dark and hazy disco, this track is still perfect for a road trip. It is something different from the typical “indie summer’ playlist. July Talk brings you down a dark road (especially if you watch the music video above), discussing the push and pull between thriving during the day or night. And isn’t that exactly what road trips are all about? All-nighters up with your best friends doing things that you have never done before? Regardless, Push + Pull is perfect to chuck on your road trip playlist to change the pace.
