Now I can't review the best songs of the year without digging back into early 2013 and remembering all the gems that made my brain melt. It's not top of mind anymore, but Empire of the Sun's "Ice on the Dune" was one of the best albums of the summer, if not the year. "Celebrate" is not definitively my favorite track, but it feels like getting awesomely punched in the face by a crazy rainbow dance unicorn. It sparkles, the bass drops, there are perfect moments for falsetto sing-a-longs, there's a smooth galactic break around 2:30. It makes me feel like I'm without a care on top of the dancing sun world.
How you'll move: Loads of shoulders, crazy feet, big smiles - this is a full body endeavor.
When to play it: Pool party dancing in your bikini while buzzed.
Side note: Other notable tracks include "Awakening" and "Old Flavours," the former being the hippy cousin and the latter the more mature, enduring big brother of all three tracks.
