\n From the urgency of Rise Against to the reflective folkpop of The Strumbellas, this week\u2019s picks are the perfect soundtrack for saying goodbye to August and easing into what comes next.\n <\/p>\n
As August winds down, there\u2019s a shift in the air. The long, hot days filled with road trips and summer anthems are starting to feel numbered. It\u2019s the time of year when playlists lean less on high-energy hits and more on songs with a bit of grit and depth. This is the music for late nights on the dock, watching the last of the summer sunsets, or soaking in the cooler evening breeze. It\u2019s the perfect soundtrack for wrapping up summer and easing into what comes next. Here\u2019s a new set of tracks to close out August on New Music Monday.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 1.
