Summer Indie Playlist, Vol. I – Local Natives, Arcade Fire, Free Energy, Opus Orange

While summer does not technically begin until mid-June, it has become something of an American tradition that Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of summertime. And it’s perfect timing for folks on the west coast, where it has been an unusually cool, cloudy and rainy spring.

Now that Memorial Day weekend has arrived, it’s time to begin rolling out the summer mixtapes, and the good thing is, there’s a lot of terrific new music that has come out so far in 2010. And these mixtapes also give us an opportunity to share other great ‘summer’ style music with you not restricted to just ‘indie rock’.
