Having made a long-awaited return in the middle of this year, Sunbeam Sound Machine offers another slice of his forthcoming third album with the reveal of his breezy ‘Two Summers‘. The globally recognised multi-instrumentalist also announces Melbourne and Sydney launch shows for the release of Possum on Friday, 7th October via Dot Dash / Remote Control Records.
‘Two Summers‘ is reminiscent of ‘In Your Arms’ (20M+ single streams) and showcases the heavily layered signature sound that Nick Sowersby has been known for. Dreamy, yet melancholic; the track’s shimmering guitars and sparkling synths contrast the downbeat tone, offering the perfect escape for listeners to be whisked away. On the creation of the track, Sowersby shares “This is one of the last songs that I wrote for the album. I’d just got a new guitar and the first time I plugged it in to do some recording these chords came out. The rest of the song followed quickly from there.” He continues on the theme saying “It’s about freeing yourself from the need to control intense feelings. Often when a song comes together quickly it can make you question its worth, but John Lee’s co-production on this song turned it into one of my favourites from the album.”
