    We welcome the third chapter in Summer Flake’s brooding guitar pop trilogy!

    Recorded between studios and home, ‘Seasons Change’ sees the return of audio engineers Geoffrey O’Connor (The Crayon Fields, Sly Hats) and Evelyn Ida Morris (Pikelet), James Mannix returns on drums and Antony Bourmas on bass.

    ‘Seasons Change’ sees Steph Crase consider ideas of self-identity, movement, and the indiscriminate yet deeply personal sense of yearning for growth. Following an organic, non-curated writing process, it was only with hindsight that Crase was able to realise the inter-connectedness of the themes present within the record, saying “I thought all the songs were such separate, free-standing, very different ideas. I’m slow to write, and usually just play with one idea at a time. I didn’t realise until near the end of production how tightly connected and repetitive the themes and lyrics were.”

    Crase describes the album as having “more pace than my previous records - little flashes of optimism, upbeat moments, but still simmering with anxiety and panic, and the wobbling uncertain desire for change.

    ‘Seasons Change’, the third record from Summer Flake, released to the world via Rice Is Nice on August 30th 2019.

lyrics

Where can I turn it off?
Where can I lay my head?
When people say
That girl’s insane
That she’s to blame
What she been saying

Where can I pull the plug?
Where can I hang my neck?
You built my maze
Give the crowd a wave
When the sun beats down
It burns my face

I’m reaching out
Put my hand in the fire
I’m reaching out
For someone to shine a light on
I’m reaching out
For a sign in the wire
I’m reaching out
Put my hand in the fire

And I walk home after dark
And I go through the park after midnight
And I go to my girlfriend’s place of work
And have a cig or a drink if I have a thirst

No one’s gonna tell me what to do
No one’s gonna sell me what to say
No one’s gonna shout me out their car
No one’s gonna say how close how far how close how far how close how far how close how far

Now I’m reaching out
Put my hand in the fire
Now I’m reaching out
For someone to shine a light on
Now I’m reaching out
For a sign in the wire
Now I’m reaching out
Put my hand in the fire
