"New Person, Same Old Mistakes" by Tame Impala
Fresh off their awesome new album "Currents,"this track is everything you never thought you wanted but needed. I would just add the whole album while you’re at it because it is great.
"PPP" by Beach House
This new single from the soon to be released "Depression Cherry" album, which is available for pre-order now, is beautiful and relaxing making it perfect during stressful travels.
"Highway Patrol Stun Gun" by Youth Lagoon
A great new single from Trevor Powers off his upcoming album "Savage Hills Ballroom." Lovely piano and a shift from his usual ambient synths
"All That" by Carly Rae Jepsen
This upbeat track was co-written with Dev Hynes, a.k.a. Blood Orange, and carries his distinctive 80s influence in a pop ballad style. The fun sing along tune of the playlist.
"Dreams" by Beck
This brand new single by the acclaimed artist is fun and takes a distinctive turn from his very mellow "Morning Phase" album last year. Very memorable and a great pick-me-up for trying times during your travels.
"Pretty Pimpin" by Kurt Vile
A catchy tune with a rustic folky edge to it. Quintessential road-trip song to enjoy with your friends and family during your travels. Listen with a pretty sunset over the mountains and a nice breeze for ideal result.
"Another One" by Mac Demarco
Coming from his brand new album, this sweet little song is a nice calm beauty from the charismatic Canadian artist. The melodic and folky sensibility of the whole album makes it perfect for the road.
