You won’t find a more summer-themed song this weekend than ‘Shimmer’ from American trio Summerdrive.
Listeners are treated to a style of sound that features elements of synth, indie, pop and alternative rock, while the lyrics tell of lost feelings:
“The overarching idea of the song is chasing a feeling that has faded, whether you like it or not. Visiting the places that you’ve been with someone, whether it be a friend or partner, and those places not holding the same meaning as they once did. Ultimately realising that sometimes it’s out of our control how these things end up.”
Summerdrive is the collaborative project of musicians Jake Stam, Matt Montgomery and Tim Coakley. The group have so far amassed more than six million catalogue streams on Spotify alone, making them one of New York’s biggest newcomers.
