For an Independence Day weekend anthem, you have two choices: be American, or be not American. If you are in Canada or the UK, or you are not American that’s ok. You can listen to the Crystal Castles remix of “Death” by White Lies. It was just Canada Day, after all, and we know how the commonwealth likes to stick together.
If you are in or of America however, you can listen to the Knight School version of The Drums‘ “Let’s Go Surfing,” which positively teems with summer beachy Americana sunshine. Featuring a harmonized interpolation of “Down Down Baby” the original doesn’t have, Beach Boysish vocals, and – hey, is that a whistle! It’s as if Betsy Ross made that flag in Brooklyn and put it on an mp3.
From looking at the photos here, it certainly seems like the Americans are having more fun, but we’re not judging. Both tracks are currently free on RCRDLBL. Happy weekend!
