Coming off freshly from their Lollapalooza set this past weekend, Minnesotan group Hippo Campus have released a new feel-good single entitled South. The track continues our obsession with these guys, after their hit debut single Suicide Saturday reached the coveted Alt-18 for 2 weeks in July. The group is rapidly rising, considering they premiered the single via the Tonight Show tumblr page in the states and BBC Radio 1 across the pond. South is a refreshing cocktail of charming and exploratory indie-rock with infectious gravelly vocals and a fluttering guitar backbone that leads into a truly euphoric breakdown. It all ends with a perfectly quilted layered ending that leaves you reminiscing in the golden hour sun. Make this your August soundtrack, and stay tuned for their South EP dropping October 2nd.

Portugal. The Man has been busy lately giving us some great auditory treats. Last month we got The Chamanas' cover of Purple Yellow Red and Blue, and now we have the boys reinventing an unexpected track, ILOVEMAKONNEN's Tuesday. This version is even more infectious than the original, since it has that unique and mystical vibe you expect from these guys. The top it all off you have some hilarious cover artwork, another reason why this group is a modern alternative staple. It's a fitting tune for your Tuesday #FunIndieSun soundtrack.
