When you think about memorable songs with iconic locations in the title, a few classics come to mind: “Sweet Home Alabama,” “No Sleep Till Brooklyn,” “London Calling,” “New York, New York.” The list is immense. For this week’s Monday Moods, we pulled together a few new jams inspired by California spaces and places, including a beautiful acoustic track from newcomer Stav Mcallister, whose debut EP is dropping October 23. Dial these up and be transported.
