I can honestly (perhaps sadly) say I have never listened to this album in anything other than total or near-total darkness. I think I would actually find it very weird listening to it in daylight.

THE CURE - DISINTEGRATION
Need to listen when moving isn't an option, the best times are when going to bed on a friends sofa after a night out, or the morning after on the sofa when no one is up. the sound just totally wraps you up it's like being taken out of existence for 50 minutes.

THE SHINS - PORT OF MORROW
Summer morning, simply put. First thing when you get outside, works a treat.

BEST COAST - (any)
Long, lazy summer afternoons when sun is just starting to set, either outside or by a window, optional beer accessory.

PATTI SMITH - HORSES
A dark evening, where you can see the stars, (essential for Birdland), outside walking around somewhere.

PORTICO QUARTET - S/T
On a train.

YEAH YEAH YEAHS - MAPS
Afternoon of a busy day, and you're tired.

Slow, throbbing reggae about a city that is, well, hot. Love playing this driving a car through a baking hot sunny day in summer, preferably through an area with a high West Indian population. Reggae in the sun is a touch obvious, but this has a gritty urban edge to it rather than playing on a beach.

Burial (obvs), The Soft Moon, Rusty Nails by Moderat (not really the rest of the record).

Early morning: that new record my Mountains (Centralia?), Yppah.

on a hot summers night, dark outside windows open,
