Seems Like Summer
Sam Grayson’s 2026 Playlist
Curated by Sam Grayson, Music Editor, Go Cybernaut
Summer does not always arrive with a grand entrance.
Sometimes it appears in an open window, a song heard from a passing car, the cool hum of an early-morning coffee shop, or the moment late-afternoon light turns an ordinary street into a small movie scene.
For Sam Grayson, music has always been more than background noise. It is memory, medicine, release, and a way of helping people find one another across the static. In his first year at Go Cybernaut, Sam has brought a steady editorial ear to the constellation: thoughtful without becoming heavy, stylish without chasing the obvious, and always alert to the emotional weather beneath a song.
Seems Like Summer reflects that first year of growth.
This is a playlist for long drives, record-store afternoons, back-porch speakers, city walks after sunset, and the bright, private feeling that life may still have a few beautiful surprises waiting around the corner.
It begins with movement. It finds its centre in confidence. And it closes with the kind of open-sky optimism that feels like Sam stepping into year two with deeper instincts, wider musical curiosity, and the confidence to trust his own ear.
Khruangbin & Leon Bridges, “Texas Sun”
A slow, golden opening for the playlist. It feels like the first real day of summer, when the road is open, the air is warm, and there is nowhere more important to be.
Sam’s first year has been built on momentum, even when the pace needed to be gentle. This track brings the groove, the confidence, and the reminder that forward is still forward.
A small invitation to unclench. Its easygoing warmth reflects the part of summer that asks us to breathe deeper, slow down, and trust that not everything needs to be solved today.
The Blessed Madonna feat. Clementine Douglas, “Happier”
Bright, uplifting, and built for a windows-down moment. It captures Sam stepping further into joy, confidence, and a future with more room for celebration.
A splash of playful, slightly sideways energy. Sam’s musical voice has room for polish, but also for fun, surprise, and songs that arrive wearing sunglasses indoors.
Suki Waterhouse, “Supersad”
Even the title has a little dramatic flair, but the sound is breezy and sunlit. It brings a cool, cinematic softness to the playlist, like a late-afternoon walk with nowhere urgent to be.
Pure bright-side energy. This is the track for remembering that difficult seasons do pass, and light has a habit of finding the cracks.
Sparkling guitars and emotional intelligence in equal measure. It reflects Sam’s gift for finding music that is stylish and immediate, while still carrying something deeper beneath the shimmer.
Confidence with a disco pulse. It gives the playlist its dressed-up moment, a little glamour for summer evenings when the ordinary day deserves to become an occasion.
The Japanese House, “Sunshine Baby”
Warm, reflective, and full of hazy colour. This track feels like a memory being made in real time, carrying both tenderness and the feeling of looking ahead.
Squeeze, “Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)”
A classic British summer postcard. Seaside humour, holiday freedom, and a lived-in charm that gives Sam’s playlist a dash of timeless cool.
For the quieter side of summer. It honours the private listener, the late-night thinker, and the moments when a song feels as though it has found you personally.
Hypnotic, sun-warmed, and full of mystery. This is Sam reaching beyond familiar borders, trusting texture, rhythm, and atmosphere to tell part of the story.
A gentle nudge toward the horizon. It asks the question at the heart of year two: what becomes possible when you lift your eyes and trust your own direction?
Bon Iver, “Everything Is Peaceful Love”
A calm, spacious centre of gravity. It reflects a more grounded kind of growth, where hope does not need to shout to be powerful.
Brief title, big heart. This track captures something central to Sam’s work at Go Cybernaut: good taste matters, but care matters more.
Human, sharp, and alive with movement. It reminds us that growth is rarely tidy, but it can still be full of laughter, connection, and a great beat.
The playlist’s moment of full expansion. It speaks to the kind of growth that happens slowly beneath the surface before suddenly becoming impossible to miss.
ODESZA feat. Madelyn Grant, “Sun Models”
A closing track made of open sky. It leaves Sam’s first year at Go Cybernaut glowing in the rear-view mirror, with the road ahead still bright and beautifully unfinished.
A Playlist for the Season Ahead
Seems Like Summer is Sam Grayson’s musical postcard from year one at Go Cybernaut.
It is a celebration of the ground he has covered, the confidence he is carrying now, and the wider musical world waiting for him in year two. It is for anyone who needs a reminder that there is still room for discovery, for movement, for joy, and for a song that finds you at just the right moment.
