Trop-pop duo Summer Salt - singer/guitarist Matthew Terry and drummer Eugene Chung - spent many years building towards their latest album, Sequoia Moon (2021), ever since jettisoning their Dallas, Texas, hometown for the arts-and-culture oasis of Austin after graduating high school in the early 2010s. The band quickly rose through the ranks of the local Austin scene with their 2014 debut Driving To Hawaii, teeming with both the escapism and recklessness of youth and the composure and charm of ‘60s-era pop, doo wop and bossa nova.
2018’s Happy Camper, 2019’s Honeyweed and 2020’s Avenue G further cemented the band’s place as one of the indie genre’s brightest stars. Summer Salt soared past 1 million monthly Spotify listeners and toured the world.
But while Sequoia Moon saw Summer Salt pushing towards that bright future, they are ready to reimagine their past with forthcoming album The Juniper Songbook, which revisits nine songs from across their discography.
This reminded me of my pandemic era. I recommended summer salt to my first love because it reminds me of him. After we broke up, I saw him use summersalt to his new girlfriend, something he never did for me. I know back then I did not deserve your treatment, but I still loved you anyway. I thought I couldn't get over you, but here I am, having found a man who loves me unconditionally and doesn't leave me feeling empty. This song holds powerful nostalgia. thank you, summer salt
I feel like the creative process of this band has turned more into that being recorded by two people as opposed to written then rehearsed and recorded as a band. And i am in no way of saying this as a hater or something, i absolutely love this band, there are a number of earlier songs which have completely influenced my way of writing songs and listening to music. I'd just like to see the band pushing creatively and taking what they had from around 2014-2019 and expanding on it. Sorry if my point sounds rude. At the end of the day love these guys no matter where they decide to go.
Great video but y'all are starting to sound more like a band that would be on the radio. Get back to the rawness of your first album please. This sounds like a kids bop song
