I know many of my fellow students, in the depths of a winter weather and a depressing courseload, are reminiscing about how they, seemingly days ago, ran through the sunlite streets not paying any mind to an AP class or a midterm. In light of such reminiscing, I present "Deadbeat Summer" by Neon Indian, a song that encapsulates the blissfully lethargic vibe of summer. The track epitomizes the word chill and the listless euphoria of not having to care about anything. The fat bass, the bright treble synths, and the slow breathy lyrics blend perfectly to create the sensation that you are rolling down a suburban street on your longboard wearing a tank and tinted wayfarers. The more seasoned rap listeners among you may recognize this as the track that backed Childish Gambino's "I Love Clothes" off of his "I AM JUST A RAPPER" mixtape. In addition to being a kick ass tune, you can throw the name "Neon Indian" out onto the table and finally wipe that hipster's condescending smirk off his/her face. This little summer anecdote reminds us all as we are studying for midterms that the blissful days of summer are just around the corner.
