    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

I’m not a mind reader
But I’m picking up your psychic pain
Even though I’m not a mind reader
I hear everything you won't say

I see you got hours to burn
But not a minute for me today

Even though I’m no timekeeper
I feel every second slipping away

Monday to Sunday’s my merry-go-round
Can’t look over my shoulder with my head in the sand
Sunday to Monday’s a blink and you're dead
Until then babe you'd better get out of my head

I can’t breathe

Said I’m not a mind reader
But I’m picking up your psychic pain
Even though I’m not a mind reader
I’m seeing things that I can't explain

They say ‘sleep soundly in the dark’
But you’ve gotta move into the light, into the light
Into the light of day

Even though I’m no mind reader
I know something isn’t right here

Is that a cloud on your face when I see you again?
Can’t run around the corner with my feet in cement
Dirty glass, broken tiles and an unmade bed
So loud now baby better get out of my head

I can’t breathe
