Description
Summer Above is the debut release from Chicago’s Speck Mountain. Already enjoying a lease of life as a US-import, Summer Above has drawn comparisons to The Velvet Underground and Mazzy Star. . Recorded in New York and Chicago in 2005 and 2006, Summer Above is entirely self-produced. Parts of it were taped in late night sessions at a New York voice-over studio Dubway, where the then-duo was allowed to record from midnight until 6am each day.
The album is a dreamy, psychedelic pop-rock built one with shimmering guitars and singer Marie-Claire Balabanian’s soft, sedated, honey-dripped vocals.
