The Crayon Set – Summer Song (Gui Boratto remix)
The last days of disco.
Homegrown electro-pop enthusiasts The Crayon Set celebrate the release of their new album Disco Downer on September 24 with this nifty remix of their single Summer Song by ace Brazilian producer Gui Boratto.
It’s a banger!
The band’s Robert Baker writes:
“The album has a happy-sad dynamic going on – we’re always trying to write and record the perfect pop song but lyrically the songs couldn’t help but reflect the increasingly stressed-out, messed-up world we breathe in every day.
“So that’s where the album title came from – the idea of sad bangers, melody with melancholy, downer disco. In terms of the disco thing, it is a bit tongue-in-cheek but we did incorporate more electronic elements and we wanted to get people dancing more.
“With the help of our producer Stephen Shannon, we focused more on mood and groove. Our previous album ‘Lost Languages’ was more folk-rock and acoustic, so it was probably a reaction to that.”
Nick says: Baker’s treat.
