The Summertime playlist is a heatwave hallucination — a soundtrack for late night cruises, early morning zoning out, and everything between. These tracks were curated for peak hazy nostalgia, warped neon dreams, and that eerie calm that hits when the world’s quiet but your brain won't shut up.
Blending lo-fi, synth pop, chillwave, post-punk, and alt pop, the soundscape reflects everything Unnerving Brain represents — a contrast of beauty and discomfort, melancholy wrapped in glossy color. It’s music for heat-drenched loneliness, summer ghosts, and vibe-based healing.
1. Feel It All Around – Washed Out
The cornerstone of chillwave. Warm, slow-motion bliss with hypnotic loops — your entry into the dream.
2. Apartments – Windows 96 & Gavriel
Sunset shimmer on a VHS tape. Soft synths and retro textures that melt into each other.
3. Speeding 72 – Momma
Shoegazey alt-pop that feels like falling asleep in the passenger seat of a fast car on an empty highway.
4. Walking On A Dream – Empire of the Sun
Euphoric nostalgia. Uncanny in how it feels both hopeful and slightly sad — a pop classic with a fever dream gloss.
5. Fire for You – Cannons
Neon noir seduction. Dream pop meets retro synth pulses, perfect for midnight drives with a half-broken heart.
6. Little Dark Age – MGMT
Paranoia meets groove. This darkwave anthem carries the dread of surveillance with a danceable pulse.
7. Caligula – Windows 96
Instrumental vapor-funk. It feels like cruising through digital ruins with pixelated sunshine overhead.
8. Pyramid of Health – Viagra Boys
Satirical chaos. Post-punk absurdity that punches you awake mid-trip with its deranged swagger.
9. Type A (feat. sos) – Harvey Sutherland
Muted funk for anxious bodies. A beat that grooves while the mind spirals.
10. U Should Not Be Doing That – Amyl and The Sniffers
Punk resistance. Reckless, raw, and electric — it throws a rock through the fog machine.
11. CPR – Wet Leg
Sarcastic seduction meets indie-pop minimalism. Sassy and off-kilter enough to earn its place here.
12. Resonance – Home
Internet dreamstate. Echoes of retro-futurism wrapped in digital sentimentality. A lo-fi lullaby.
13. Ghost Party – KarmicX
Dreamlike electro-pop from independent artist KarmicX. Not part of Unnerving Brain — but fits the hallucinated heatwave perfectly.
14. Cherie – Darius & Darianna Everett
80s prom energy trapped in a lava lamp. Echo-drenched vocals over wistful synths — soft heartbreak in motion.
15. Life Signs – Water From Your Eyes
Art-damaged chaos held together by rhythm. Like eavesdropping on a panic attack in bloom. Beautifully unstable.
16. Summertime Summertime – Corina
Bubblegum freestyle bliss. The kind of joy that only makes sense when you're sticky with sweat and chasing a memory.
