Summer Heart returns to the USA (LA Bootleg Theatre) Monday night + new video shot in London
The package-holiday poet dreams of leisure from the bedroom, locates the sweet spot between chillwave and the genres most distant antecedent, Balearic house. Yields supine groove-rock with sex on the brain and the soul of a big room floor-filler.
The video in the artist’s own words:
“I wrote ‘Follow’ with the intention of exploring the concept of following your dreams, and the possibility of never quite getting there. Kyle, who directed the video, wanted to convey this idea through a relationship between a mother and her young daughter. The daughter, relishing her role as the star of the show, is all naive optimism and youthful exuberance. Her mother, meanwhile, looks on with pride but also with a kind of melancholy. As her daughter plays to the crowds, she reflects on her own youth and the dreams she never had the chance to follow, and wonders just how many years she has left with her daughter; too few, perhaps, to see her daughter follow her own dreams.”

“Alexander stacks and stirs vibrant guitar tones as his ethereal vocal calls out, echoing and then layering upon itself” – The Line of Best Fit
“It plays like a dance on the line between bliss and dismay. It’s got more of Alexander’s light and floaty vocals, that sound sort of like a slightly more apathetic version of Band of Horses frontman Ben Bridwell” – Noisey
“You’ll adore these muffled melodies and dolorous, drifting elegies.” – The Guardia
“Lovely dream pop.” – The Fader
“The infectious Scandinavian dream pop melody is cherry-topped with warm Mediterranean flavours” – The 405
