Remember Summer- Wrecking Ball (Miley Cyrus Cover)

Remember Summer are Northern Irish hailing Paddy Conn of indie pop band Swimming Tapes and English vocalist Angelina Dove.

Having a mutual indulgence for worlds gone by, Remember Summer use an enchanted distraction of dusty synths and wistful poetry to create their nostalgia drenched dream pop.  Songs that embody a poignant dream-state of long lost summer nights, or the cosy loneliness of a desert road trip on the cusp of September; the leaves will fall, the changing of the seasons inevitable but the magic days, in those last hours of summertime feel like they really could last forever.

The pair met in the summer of ’16 at the Forest Gate cafe where they both worked and started making up songs to pass days in a hot kitchen. Dove recalls, “Summer of ’16 became the year of collaboration for Paddy and I. We started swapping ideas at work. It all started as a bit of fun really, sort of a distraction to stem boredom but when the cafe went bust the following year and we both got fired we realised that we’d started something we missed more than frying eggs. Since we live 5 minutes away from each other we’ve kept it up. This is ‘Remember Summer'”.

Now, the duo are beginning to unveil their new music, as they enter a fresh chapter. Taking the well-loved Miley Cyrus anthem “Wrecking Ball” and giving it their own folk flair, Remember Summer took the modern pop track and added a vintage-soaked hue. Glowing with a warmth and tinge of nostalgia, the duo use raw synths and echoing vocals to put their own stamp on the hit track. 

Speaking of their decision to cover the track, Dove shares, “Metaphorically spot on; I think I’m an ‘exploding doormat’ personality type. A really long fuse, but once it’s lit…Wrecking Ball resonated with me, I feel like I’ve been there. The explosions, the disappointment, indifference even.”

Join Remember Summer on their new journey, with the release of “Wrecking Ball,” out now.
