LISTEN

THE SPEECHLESS PLACE | album

My third record! My pride and joy. Recorded in Venice Beach, California. Produced by Alex Siegel. Mastered by Simon Lancelot. Listen with noise cancelling headphones and closed eyes.

Life for me has been a series of dialectics. Even my name Summer Winter reflects this. The Speechless Place is a collection of songs written from my intuition – that place where I navigate all my opposing experiences, wrestle with every shade of my feelings and listen to my inner compass.

SO FAR | single

I kept failing in relationships. I kept meeting weirdos or they’d bring out the weirdo in me. I felt pulled in different directions, so I let the chord progressions in the chorus follow that tension. Honestly I’m so proud of the musical changes in this song. It sounds like a chill jazzy indie song but So Far became my pledge/anthem to stay single and focus on being healthy, by myself, to not chase it in other people. I felt so far away from me and this song helped me make my way back.

MORNING TIMES | single

I wrote this unplugged in my friends kitchen, where she let me stay grief and gratitude ridden after calling off an engagement. Mornings truly felt the hardest. The soft light and sweet beginnings each day forced me to reconcile with a relationship that no longer fit. I wrestled with regret and appreciation for all the lessons. Our people teach us, after all. I stripped accompaniment away at times to mimic silent moments of grief and clarity that come from starting over.

GIFTS UNRAVEL | single

Tracked at Outlier Inn's serene studio in The Catskills of upstate NY on a combination of old microphones including a birdcage. Listen for the sound of a sparkly sword right before the chorus at 2:01 to represent how friends can help slice through fears with ease.

BLAME GAME | single

Setting the tone for SW's unreleased third record, Blame Game offers sounds reminiscent of The Beatles with twinkles of what's to come.
