EXCLUSIVE: Sleeping Together – Summer Girl ☀️

we’re super stoked to be able to bring you an exclusive review of the new tune from Sleeping Together, “Summer Girl” which comes out on all platforms tomorrow! 🤘

we had these chaps perform for us back earlier in the summer at The Grafton Arms, as part of our Toasted gig and they absolutely blew us away with their talent, songwriting and just how well they all gelled with one another performing. they played for us under their previous persona “Whatever The Weather” and we’re so made up to be able to have a lil sneak preview listen to the new tune ahead of it’s release. 😎

they’ve been hard at work over the past few months, recording and writing and you can tell right from the get go that this track is sure to be a real indie anthem. opening up with a cool and dreamy guitar lick, the track flows so well into the first verse, where the main vocal soars effortlessly over the rhythm of the track – a real calm and collected delivery, invoking lovely imagery that the listener can get lost in. as it comes into the pre-chorus, the track builds softly and carefully, yet there’s a real sense of urgency relating to the lyrics that works so well together. ☀️ opening up into the chorus, it’s a real sing-a-long hook that we can only imagine would be belted out from audiences all over at their gigs. we especially love the last line, “the sun it never sets so tell me why should I?” – a real celebration of the joys of the season and the memories that last for a lifetime.

as it comes into the second chorus, the prowess of the songwriting here really shows itself – you realise that the first verse is written from one perspective, and then the second verse is a response to that perspective; fantastic talent to be able to do this and really shows off their talent here as lyricists! as it comes to its conclusion in the outro, we love the controlled explosion of distortion and extended fills, stops and the such which really give the track the ending it deserves. amazing stuff from these chaps! ⚡️

you can find the track out on all streaming platforms as of tomorrow – presave link is here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/whatevertheweather/summer-girl and it’s well worth checking out the track, gonna be a repeat on our playlists for sure! 🍞
