Each of their tracks are filled with energy, and their Spanish songs are some of their best - namely “Chunti.” With a second album released in 2018, they’re a young band, so make sure to hop on now. (They covered Spooky Black’s “Without U” on that album and they did it really well.) This Chicano indie unsurf rock band based out of San Diego is insanely talented. Their 2016 debut album “Boisaid” certified these young artists as a playlist staple with eight songs that emulate California cool. There should be a special place in everyone’s heart for this band. He’s already collaborated with major artists such as Mac DeMarco on “MENTHOL*” and A$AP Rocky on “Triple Double” - both of which are perfect tracks to kick off your indulgence.Īlthough not heavily advertised as a main seller on the Coachella lineup, after his feature on Rolling Stone’s Best of Coachella Recap, Dawson is sure to be invited back next year and perhaps receive a slightly bigger font on the advertisement.

Even though she is not one of the main performers, Gou’s music is catchy and a must-add to your playlist.
