Following their debut single in January (“The Perfect Wave”), and a second in April (“Inside”), The Summertimes have just released their self-titled debut LP. Songwriters David Beniuk and David Challenger were joined in the studio by a bunch of Australia’s most revered musos, including guitarist Ashley Naylor (Paul Kelly and The Church), drummer Steve O’Brien (Tumbleweed) and bassist Steve Bull (Icehouse). Steering The Summertimes’ ship from behind the desk was five-time ARIA-award winning producer Paul McKercher, who’s recorded with the likes of You Am I, Hoodoo Gurus, Eskimo Joe, and Midnight Oil.
Drawing on inspiration from acts as diverse as The Go Betweens, Teenage Fanclub, You Am I and The Jam, The Summertimes’ 10-track LP is chock full of evocative melodies interwoven with cerebral storytelling.
