Summer Heart’s David Alexander is on a mission to share his homemade, lo-fi, psychedelic tunes with the world. The Swedish artist makes sun-blistered sounds that are perfect for a myriad of occasions, including all of your nostalgia-soaked, summer adventures.
Just a few weeks ago, I drove under the Texas sun for nine hours to reach a teepee in Marfa. I built out an 18-hour playlist and hit shuffle. However, my phone decided not all songs are created equal and played “Thinkin of U” just over a dozen times throughout the trip. Do you think I skipped over it once? Not a chance. There is something so satisfying about this dreamy track.
I am smitten the lovesick line, “It’s been six years since I first saw you.” This song encourages listeners to drape their bronze limbs over the closest warm body. Let Summer Heart inspire sleepless July nights and brighten memories of old flames. Enjoy.
