SUMMER

The sixteenth track from 'Saturation II', 'Summer' strips the collective's usual density down to a hypnotic loop of yearning. The lyrics circle a single declaration of desire, the refrain insisting on difference and belonging across verses that barely shift. It is a moment of patience on a record that rarely pauses for breath. DJBooth singled it out as a highlight of the album, alongside 'Queer' and 'Junky'. The song first appeared in a snippet on Kevin Abstract's 'Empty' video, where it took its title from the character Summer Laboeuf; early drafts called it 'Summer Heat' before the name was simplified. The restraint feels deliberate, a counterweight to the versatility elsewhere on the tracklist.
