First two pages of this topic have a few songs which, imo, deliver the right "happy-go-lucky" mood for a relaxed weekend/holiday time (the coconut song, notably)

A recent discovery, which I found quite interesting:

Vanishing Twin - Marbles

Vanishing Twin - Cryonic Suspension May Save Your Life
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOnAilNcYC4

It's a blend of rock with electronic elements, resolutely experimental yet quite accessible and enjoyable.

And here's a track from my volcano list which I quite enjoy for its joyfully creazy mood!

Los Pirañas - Palermo's Grunch

It's from Colombia, and described as experimental cumbia.

I'm not sure whether anyone is actually listening, but I'll keep sharing just in case...

I had previously shared an entertaining track from the czech band called DVA, and here another of their songs which I found orginal and quite entertaining:

DVA - Nuevo Tango

And here's what I believe is one of the most spirited french album from the eighties (which yet went totally unrecognized, while I think it is to be put on the same level as other iconic 80's bands such as the world famous english band New Order, or Nina Hagen in germany): the new wave album "Hot Paradox" by Martin Dupont (1987)

Martin Dupont - Hot paradox
https://youtu.be/Hq0AoEGWsHs?feature=shared

Martin Dupont - Inside Out
https://youtu.be/znlWpf7RvTI?feature=shared

The whole of the album is quite good and worth a listen.

I guess what I love most about this album is the spontaneity and sincerity that can be heard through the songs, it feels both engaged and yet full of hope, without the slightest bit of pretentiousness, it just feels true. And that is beautiful.

This one of the rare few vinyl records (along with Nina Hagen's Angstlos notably) which was an unavoidable buy for me despite the cover was not geology related :lol:
