Welcome to the newest sparkly summer edition of the Orchard's Daily Rind Newsletter (we're just going to pretend it hasn't been raining for 40 days and 40 nights). This week we present your perfect summer soundtrack - the Generationals' upbeat indie-pop album Con Law, along with more feel-good tunes from Brooklyn's dancehaller Sean Bones. In our free tracks section, we've got "Fables" from the highly-anticipated Dodos' album, Time To Die, a sugary song by British sweetheart Bird and some banging Hip Hop by Trife Diesel (aka Trife Da God), Cage and DJ Spinna. Bubbling Up features pop-punk quartet Oh Romeo!, the second album from Toronto's Lullabye Arkestra, and Life as a Shorty by much talked about west-coast MC Fashawn. And just like every week, you can find a lot more In Stores Now and Coming Soon, including David Mead, The Bloody Beetroots and Sally Shapiro. Enjoy!
