Wrapping the listeners in feelings of joy and euphoria, ‘Indian Summer’ is a truly cathartic offering. Built on a hazy, psych-flavoured sonic imprint, the record contains a certain lo-fi character blended with indie extravaganza. The result is a vibrant, nuanced anthem with an uplifting charge and distinct nostalgia-laced lyricism.
As the title implies, this is the perfect song for the end of the summer. In that sense, ‘Indian Summer’ is rather bittersweet, almost refusing to call it quits. In it, Spouses recalls everything that makes summer so epic: the heightened sense of freedom, the fleeting romances and the lasting memories. The track’s anthemic production is a perfect match for such a strong record.
Based in Liverpool, Spouses uses ‘Indian Summer’ to jump into a newly-found artistic era, one that’s different from the project’s folk-like beginnings. We dig it, and so should you: boasting hypnotising and electrifying vocals, the record will gladly help you get over the seasonal change. Speaking about his work, Spouses explains: “I wanted to try and capture that feeling I get when I listen to Is This It but with some horns from In The Aeroplane Over The Sea.”
