Remember that time you ate 4 tangelos then fell asleep in the sun at Bilgola beach in 2014? That’s right, we’re talking about Citrus Daze here, and while that irradiating experience was ultimately horrifying, I think you’ll find this one extremely pleasant. Today’s heatstroke comes direct from the bright sands of the Gold Coast, a five piece who’ve formed with the evident goal of releasing this incredible debut single and a similarly powerful debut press shot. Both had me clutching my pearls. The audacity of these people to succeed so resoundingly with their first efforts.

Chloe’s voice pops and wanders like a vagrant angel while the untold hero of the song is truly Jess’ bassline. It’s nothing OTT, just the right trampoline for that voice to springboard across lilting guitars. It’s all bittersweet nostalgia of Summers past, engendered through moody words but sunburst back through the the filter of a vocal solar flare. This Summer’s one that’ll live on mournfully, at least in our geographical part of the world and amidst fire and political inactivity, ‘Blue Summer’ feels like just the poison to capture the warmth, the smoke, the sadness and wrap it in a saccharine layer. And sure, I’m reaching quite far to find a political parallel, but I guess I just want you to know that I really eff with this and that it’s been a timely record.

Beyblade let it rip!
