Have the shorter days and cold weather gotten you down? The leaves are all gone and everyone is staying in. You miss those warmer times and hanging outside ’til the night falls and the bars close so you sneak over to that secret swimming pool so the fun doesn’t have to end. If this sounds like you then Austin band Summer Salt has you covered.
They release their new single this coming January on hometown label Austin Town Hall Records. It’s a gentle vibe of what it might sound like had Ben Watt fronted Yo La Tengo instead of Everything But the Girl. A perfect blend of guitar with light reverb, Bossanova rhythms, and just enough of one foot in the past while remaining somehow current.
