If we didn’t already know that almost monday hails from sunny California, we would hear it after a second of their debut album DIVE. The summer sun and the crashing waves are written all over this record. And while some of us have traded in the warm air for freezing temperatures and slush for the time being, we can pretend we’re still soaking in the sun with almost monday’s DIVE (deluxe). The deluxe album features two new tracks and a new version of ‘jupiter’ featuring Jordana. And with this release, as far as we’re concerned, summer is far from over! Let’s dive into these new tracks.

‘sequoia’

‘sequoia’ leads us right back to where we left off in the standard album. Which is to say a dreamlike, high-energy state. almost monday kicks this deluxe album off right by throwing us into a carefree love story that persists in the face of their carpe diem, budget lifestyle. If they were to sing this song to us, we would be ready to jump into anything. As it happens, the song has the exact same effect as we prepare to jump into the last two tracks on the deluxe.

‘jupiter’ Featuring Jordana

Our love for ‘jupiter’ is no new thing, but the addition of Jordana’s vocals raises the song to a whole new level. This song, especially with the seamless blend of the two singers’ vocals, is the definition of song of the summer. Now, we understand that it’s January, and many of our readers are suffering through the cold. Or maybe it’s your thing, and you’re loving it. Regardless, we’ll just have to start getting excited for almost monday summer now. Until then, all you have to do is put on ‘jupiter,’ preferably featuring Jordana, close your eyes, hear the sounds of a summer night, and smell the salt air of the beach.

‘holiday’

We have never known stress. We have only ever known relaxation on the beach. Or at least that’s how this song makes us feel. The breeze is in our hair, the sun is on our skin. Funky guitar riffs make this song both peaceful and lively. And if the vibey instrumentals drive the song, the vocals elevate it. If the modern pop surfer energy is what they’re going for, we’ve never seen a more successful take.
