Like their previous EP, it's a classic pop effort that captures the pep of their live set rather than something built on prog studio trickery (wait for album number five maybe for the dubstep nu celtic fusion).
The album title “Summer Feeling” ( inspired by the Jonathan Richman song of the same name ) is very apt. In a similar manner album opener "Could It Ever Get Better" is an anthem for youth while at the same time a forewarning for the times ahead.
Ultimately this album is a party. A celebration of being a young New Zealander and all the shitty things that means.
We recommend getting along to the album release shows coming up in Auckland and Wellington and picking up a copy of their limited edition surf green vinyl!

ReplyDeleteReading about all the album release shows and vinyl drops honestly makes me think how different creative scenes all have their own kind of “deadline pressure” too. In a weird way it reminds me of how students juggle workload—sometimes I even catch myself joking that I just want someone to take my nursing class for me so I can enjoy things like this without stress for a bit
