Sometimes you lose those sentimental feelings you had for a place, and it's bittersweet. The spot you had all those cherished memories of suddenly fades to being just another place you've been. Relationships and the memories you hold close constantly change, letting feelings of nostalgia slip away. That's what Summerdrive captures in their new single, "Shimmer." The band states, "The overarching idea of the song is chasing a feeling that has faded, whether you like it or not. Visiting the places that you’ve been with someone, whether it be a friend or partner, and those places not holding the same meaning as they once did. Ultimately realizing that sometimes it’s out of our control how these things end up."
Featuring the band's one-of-a-kind sound, Summerdrive's "Shimmer" tastefully blends together elements of alt-rock, indie-pop, and 80s synthpop. The single is an upbeat banger, being driven by exciting percussion that creates the ultimate summer dance track. "Shimmer" is full of infectious melodies and pleasant vocals, pairing nicely with the electronic interjections and synth-laden soundscape. Giving listeners energetic, memorable moments, Summerdrive shows off their ability to deliver unforgettable music. "Shimmer" is a fresh new find perfect for summer playlists and reminiscing over nostalgic moments.
