Summer Salt

This June, trop-pop outfit Summer Salt—formed around the duo of singer/guitarist Matthew Terry and drummer, multi-instrumentalist Eugene Chung—will release their fifth LP, Electrolytes, produced by Carlos de la Garza (Paramore, Ziggy Marley, The Linda Lindas). Electrolytes follows 2023’s Campanita, the band’s breezy, blissful, and intimate monument to love, family, and everything in between. Electrolytes is another bold step forward in Summer Salt’s skyward career arc, marking the band’s first LP created with touring members Winston Triolo and Anthony Barnett. This all began a decade ago, when Chung and Terry moved to Austin to start on this journey, and years of hard work and an increasingly dedicated cult fan community have combined to bring Summer Salt to this moment. The new record is packed with short, to-the-point pop goodness. Crackling with presence and confidence, the 7 tracks sway and stroll through different moods and expressions. While so much of our time and energy is spent wondering how to achieve happiness and find our perfect place, Electrolytes suggests that maybe we’re already living in it. “Electrolytes is an admiration of our lives, as-is,” say Terry and Chung. “Each song is a theme in our adult lives and how we navigate the realness of it these days, just trying to be our best.” 中文介绍 中文介绍 Summer Salt来自美国德克萨斯州的奥斯汀——一个连冬天都十分温暖的城市。他们的音乐听起来轻松愉快，主唱的嗓音温柔甜美。乐队音乐风格带着60年代流行音乐的丰富色彩、还融合了Bossa Nova以及爵士音乐风格。Summer Salt由主唱Matthew Terry和鼓手Eugene Chung在他们的高中时期成立。在搬到奥斯汀之前，两人喜欢在达拉斯和丹顿周边的咖啡馆、朋友们的家里、当地一些小型场地进行表演，在这里他们逐渐以Summer Salt乐队形式进行活动并且发掘了属于自己的乐队风格。 在2012年，乐队离开家乡去往奥斯汀继续追寻音乐，在这里他们写下了自己的第一张EP《Driving to Hawaii》。歌曲开头的海浪声以及轻松愉快的人声演唱，仿佛真的开车驶向夏威夷开始了永不结束的假期。歌曲中充满吉他流行的曲风和细腻温柔的和声让人不禁想起Beach Boys。这张EP有着歌迷最喜欢的Sweet to Me，Rockaway以及EP主打Driving to Hawaii。Driving to Hawaii这首歌形象地表现了Summer Salt所有歌词表达的本质：试着放慢生活节奏并且享受对于那不可能实现的美梦的追寻旅程。2015年，乐队发行了第二张EP《Going Native》，灵感来自于一次异国旅行。主唱Matt开始对Joao Gilberto（Bossa Nova之父）、Gilberto Gil（巴西歌手）的音乐产生兴趣并且在新的创作中加入了拉丁元素
