8 Songs for the Dog Days of Summer
By Dani Blum Dear listeners, This is Dani Blum, a health reporter and sometimes music writer at The New York Times, back again while Lindsay is out. A few weeks ago, Reggie Ugwu brought us songs for Lizard Season, the heat of peak summer. Now we're smack in the middle of sticky, sludgy August, where the thought of the season soon ending feels like both a gift and a threat. This week marks the tail end of the dog days of summer, but a humid, hazy head space usually lingers as we move into its last stretch. To help get through it, I've pulled together a playlist with some of my favorite dog-related tracks. I just returned from my favorite place to spend a summer, Copenhagen, so this playlist has a slight Scandinavian bent — there's drifty, synth-smeared pop from the Danish singer Erika de Casier and a relatively deep cut from the Swedish rapper Yung Lean. I've also included some beloved indie heavyweights, like boygenius, Mitski and Soccer Mommy. Every dog has its day, Dani This is an understated, underrated track from 'Eusexua,' FKA twigs's album-length ode to the club, which came out earlier this year. The song quietly builds as she toys with ideas about shame and submission, drums twitching as she admits, 'I'm a dog for you.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
