the babies: "meet me in the city"
The Babies is a band made up of Cassie from Vivian Girls and Kevin from the Woods. "Meet Me in the City" is exactly what that combination of the two musicians would sound like: Kevin's vocals complimented by Cassie's, while staying afloat a garage rock rhythm. Upbeat, clunky, always with forward motion, "Meet Me in the City" is playful but introspective. It almost feels carefree about taking life seriously. I guess that's what happens when you realize life's absolutes. When you're "too young to think like [you] do" or you just "feel shitty," "keep trying, keep trying" and "meet me in the city."
washed out: "belong"
"Belong" is an aquatic 80's melody that shows off Ernest Green aka Washed Out's vocal allure. It likens to a watered down (in a good way) "Electric Feel." The vocals then strays from the party-vibe inspired by "Electric Feel" and ventures into more reflective territory. "Belong" is from Green's High Times Cassette on Columbia, South Carolina's Mirror Universe.
