THE SUMMER SET, “Jean Jacket”
You may have thought this Arizona quintet had drifted away after a quiet 2015, but they’re back with their fourth album due on April 1 called Stories for Monday. Despite being on a record label (Fearless) that is more inclined towards harder rock bands like Bless The Fall, The Summer Set should acquire more fans with strong compositions like “Jean Jacket”, which is an end-of-romance retrospective song that can resonate with anyone. There’s a fine, mellifluous sax solo smack in the middle, and Brian Logan Dales’ vocals are crisp and striking (you last heard him in another setting, on Cole Plante’s dance music treat “Before I’m Yours” in late 2014). Pre-order Stories for Monday now on iTunes and get “Jean Jacket” immediately. Give it a listen up top.
The Summer Set plays in Toronto on Tuesday May 31 at the Mod Club.
