Summer music that isn't pop-punk.

[Foxholes]

It seems pop-punk is heavily associated with summer, nothing wrong with that. There's other upbeat "summery" music that isn't pop-punk though.

I'll start with Black Moth Super Rainbow:

If Boards of Canada was happy they'd be this band. They have lyrics about chewing bubblegum for crying out loud.

The Raconteurs

Mmm I don't know what genre they'd be considered but The Fashion is on my summer playlist.
