1. ‘Modern Spiritualism’
Gentle vocals and shimmering guitars make this laid-back album from local surf-folk project Blacktop a great summer backdrop. And its pensive lyrics beckon listeners to live in the present. The album is out now.
2. BC MODERN’S Retro Glow
Pick up the scents of vintage store BC Modern with five hand-poured candles available in store only, like this earthy mix of turmeric, saffron and oud wood. The shop’s open from July 26-27. 3116 S. Chase Ave.

3. Brewers Artist T-shirts
This year, the Brew Crew’s T-shirt giveaways have a local twist. Each tee is specially designed by a Dairy State artist, like Racine’s Lost Files Clothing on July 8 and Madison’s Emily Balsley on Aug. 12.
