Try as we might, we can no longer ignore it: Summer is almost over. This happens every year—we know it's coming—but it never feels any less devastating when the sun starts to set earlier, the pools close for the year, and your A.M. alarm blares for the first time in three glorious months.

Fortunately, there's a whole bunch of brand-new tunes that'll help you ease into the next season. First up? The dreamy track "Classless Kids" by the appropriately-named songstress Young Summer. Other must-listens include "Sun Models" by Odesza, "Let's Go to the Beach" by Banoffee, and—duh!—"Every Other Freckle" by Alt-J. Oh, and "You Are My Summer" by L+tch, no explanation needed. (Listen on repeat now, because come October, it'll be way too depressing to play.)

Put on your headphones and savor it. And on the bright side, at least you'll soon be able to wear all those back-to-school clothes without breaking a sweat.
