An euphoric and high-energy mix of the sounds of Bright Young Future (Pink Cotton Candy) and Tettix Hexer (The Big Oil Recording Company), End Summer in the Sun is the first single of both their upcoming, respective albums. The immediacy of Bright Young Future’s at once heartfelt cool melodies and lyrics, and their playful instrumentation, is stretched and lifted over a landscape of Tettix Hexer’s kinetic beats and shifting synthesizers. The result is an anthemic, emotional and explosive hybrid of IDM, doomsday pop and hypergaze with notes of industrial and nu-metal.
End Summer in the Sun is about not getting stuck in a toxic train of thoughts, difficult situations and life in general – getting in touch with the heart of things, reaching out, cherishing the last summer sun while getting the most out of the life you’re living.
“We (Bright Young Future) wrote ‘End Summer in the Sun’ in the summer of 2021. We worked on and off, writing lyrics together and playing around as we recorded it. When we played the track for Jens (Tettix Hexer), he wanted to mix it right away. Tettix ended up giving it the tension and expression we were looking for and took the song even further. It became a beautiful chaos of many different emotions, escalating in a high-energy, euphoric blend of Tettix Hexer and Bright Young Future.”
– Rune Risager of Bright Young Future
