Melbourne four-piece The Vacant Smiles dish out a heaping blend of slacker garage psych that’ll put you in a real good mood. Easy, bright and casually buoyant, these dudes broke through their local Aussie scene in 2016 with a manic, palpating recipe before cooling their jets to a more jangle-heavy, surf-inspired sway. Watch their video for new single “Messin’ Around,” directed by Billy Crombie, featuring the band in shorts messin’ around all over town. It may be starting to cool down here in California, but it’s always summer somewhere. –Maya Eslami
