And she wishes life was sugar sweet All the time, all the time, all the time And she wishes she could run away In the night, in the night In the summer, summer, summertime And she wishes life was sugar sweet All the time, all the time, all the time And she wishes she could run away In the night, in the night, in the night And she wishes life was sugar sweet All the time, all the time, all the time And she wishes she could run away In the night, in the night In the summer, summer summertime Tell me what it is Come a little bit closer Come and melt my heart We'll walk from Daisy Lane She loves me she, she loves me not Tell me what it is Come a little bit closer Come and melt my heart In the summer, summer, summertime

about

The ambitious new single for both Kathana (Washington, USA) and Spectoral (Melbourne, AUS), DAISY LANE is their debut collaborative release; a nimble blend of ultramodern pop laced with trip-hop and wavy electronica.

Weaving in sounds obliquely reminiscent of contemporaries like Boards Of Canada, TOKiMONSTA, Caribou, Tourist and Golden Vessel, Spectoral expertly delivers us a highly textured slow-jam here, flipping Kathana's flowery single into a new canvas of fading warmth, setting suns and wistful thoughts.

Explaining how the song came about, Spectoral says; “I was really taken by Kathana’s beautiful vocal delivery and had to reach out to her about this hook. There’s a sweet vulnerability behind the way she sings that refrain that I wanted to paint around and explore. I’d recently read a great interview with Dan Snaith of Caribou, and there’s this part where he says he was excited by the idea of “leaving in the jagged edges” that would normally be shaved down for a typical pop record. That sort of freedom is definitely something I wanted to express in my treatment of this song for Kathana.”

The addition of Spectoral's vulnerable falsetto in the second verse juxtaposes incredibly beside Kathana's escapist refrain. The song evolves constantly before taking us home for one last chorus; we’ll be yearning for more of this gem late into the “summer, summer, summertime”.
