Sometimes, the signs point in all directions. This time, we were on an entirely different mission, but then we reached a crossroads, and decided to turn away from the march of technology. Lured by the sound of a hip hop drum loop, we lost our way again, wandering around in circles like a caterpillar trail whose leader has accidentally latched onto the back of his own trail.
We combined the drum loop with Here Comes the Summertime, edited it, and then decided to make another version with everything put back in again. Just like they used to do in the 80s. Probably. It’s a nod to a long lost summer, when the warm days never seemed to end. The lonely traveller, Homeward Bound, questions the nature of place, and slowly comes to realise that it’s people that make places what they are. Words Come Easy is a bitter memory of how things used to be. Finally, as it always does, the summer returns, with an expression of hope that maybe this season really will never end.
So that’s your lot for now. Until the summer ends...
